Showsack
Okay, so, picture this: I've got this super cool idea to create a backpack that can move parts around, perfect for drag queens and fashion designers who want to amp up their outfits for a show! Now, I'm pretty new to all this programming and building stuff, but here's how I'd go about it:.
Planning
First things first, I'd sketch out what parts I want to move and how I want them to move. Do a little brainstorming and figure out what the backpack is gonna look like.
Structure
Now, I've gotta design and build the structures that the servos will move. Thinking about how to make it look fab and not too heavy is key.
So, the back of the Showsack is where all the action's at. We're talking four servos, one in each corner. These little guys are gonna act like our motor buddies, moving whatever we hook up to 'em. The servos are hooked up to this controller thingy, which tells 'em what to do. It's like the brains behind the operation. Each servo gets mounted in a corner of the backpack, nice and snug so they can do their thing without wobbling around.
The front one's got all these holes strategically placed so we can attach our structure. It's like a canvas for creativity, ya know? These holes are gonna let us connect whatever we want to the servos in the back – rods, arms, you name it.

We're gonna hook these babies up using some heavy-duty straps or whatever works best to keep 'em together. The front and back backpacks are gonna be like a dynamic duo, working singularily to move our structures back and forth.
How does this work gurl?
When the servos get their orders from the controller, they start movin'. Each servo's gonna do its thing based on the program we set up, which in turn moves the parts of our structure. So, if we want something to move forward, we just tell the servo in the back to do its thing, and bam – forward motion! With all the servos working together, we've got total control over the movement of the whole setup.
Programming
Okay, so coding... I'm a bit new to this, but I'd start simple. Write some code that tells the servos how to move – you know, forwards, backwards, all that jazz.
Testing and Tweaking (NEXT UP)
Time for the fun part! I'll put on the backpack and see how it moves. Probably gonna need a bit of tweaking to get it just right.
I know it might be a bit tricky, but hey, taking it one step at a time and asking for help when needed is totally cool. Building and coding might be new to me, but it's gonna be so worth it for that unforgettable show!
