My team and I were tasked with creating a sign that would gain the attention of passerby. We spent weeks gathering data on optimal sign placement and the most important elements to include in our final design. Ultimately, we settled on a design with moving lights, vibrant front letters, and a wavy "center" section. The movement is produced by 11 stepper motos which are coordinated with 11 headlights.

This video details all 9 components of the sign and if you skip to the end, there's a clip of the sign running in it's final, deployed state.
The 9 components include (among other items) the tracks & pulleys, the stand & backplate, and the electronics.
This video introduces the project overall. It gives a breif overview of the entire process including the need for the sign and the process of deployment.
