The list includes random crap: 2 circles, 3 electrical components, 2 photos-one with 20 inch perimeter one of which must spin, 4 functioning rubber bands, a sight or lens, 2 buttons, a cylinder less than 10" tall with 3 languages, 4 sticks, 6 wheels, a cone, a box and on and on.
WTF????
I'm going to (eer, I mean he's going to) somehow take all that crap and build a skatepark next to a city. This much I know.
I guess a Coke can has more than one language (everything is in Spanish now somewhere and tell the teacher the Kosher symbol on the can is Yiddish. hahaha)
Do the electrical components have to work? Because I would go get little solar lights/panels at radio shack. You could also cut up a string of Christmas lights and use twisted aluminum foil to hard wire them to a battery.
They probably want the motion supplied by the rubberbands being twisted then unwound, like those little model airplanes. Put a big button on the ends of the rubber bands and glue a stick to one of the buttons/circles to use for winding. Make the picture of your ass go 'round and 'round.
