A weekend of SCIENCE!

I have a plan. Though I say "science", it'll probably just end up with a few of us larking about.
What are you guys doing over the Easter weekend - Good Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday (2nd-5th April).
Inspired by OK Go's latest music video, I wish to make a Rube Goldberg machine.
I have the space in which to build it - there's an old pigeon house at the back of my garden. Currently I'm storing junk in there (old furniture, an exercise bike)
My rough plan is to have the first 2 days for ideas and testing small sections, the next day to build in full and deploy, with the final day as contingency. Come and go as you please, no minimum or maximum duration. Come with some bits that you want to use and a rough idea how you'll lay them out.
This is all likely to evolve as I find out numbers of people. I'll also need someone to film the japery for uploading to youtube.
Who's up for it? (Leave me contact details if you think I'll need them)
ETA:
House details:
Location HA8. (Details at http://mattp.livejournal.com/231680.html - let me know if you need access to that)
I have two cats.
Sleeping space for 2 can be provided (spare bed and a sofa).

Date: 2010-03-11 12:30 pm (UTC)Easter is usually my time off everything, both to relax and also because travelling is ususally a pain so I'll probably only be there on the Sunday.
If I don't come up with many contribution ideas, I'd be more than happy to take some photos. Possibly even video, if I decide to get a Flip, after all. My G10 compact sadly only takes SD vids, not HD.
I assume we'd be breaking for Dr. Who? ;)
Main email addy is karohemd at yahoo dot com.

Date: 2010-03-11 09:44 pm (UTC)I'm not at all sure yet what my plans for that weekend are but if it happens that we're available i figure something like that would make the 'what i did in the holidays' write ups a bit more interesting for their teachers to mark!!!
