    Any ideas lads

    A. Design and make a revolving jewellery tree. The unit must include an integrated lighting
    system that switches on automatically in darkness.

    B. Design and make an electro-mechanical paper towel dispenser. The unit must allow for the
    convenient refilling of the dispenser.

    C. Design and make a model of a lightweight structure/enclosure that could be used to host an
    event at the 2012 Olympic Games. Your solution must incorporate an automatic lighting
    system to enhance the appearance of the structure at night.

    D. Design and make a novelty toothbrush holder for the bathroom. The holder must incorporate a
    timer with a suitable output which indicates to a child that s/he has brushed his/her teeth for a
    sufficient period of time.

    E. Design and make a working model of an electro-mechanical golf trolley. Your solution must
    incorporate a means of controlling the speed of the trolley.

    F. Show jumping is a very popular sport in Ireland and throughout the world. Design and make a
    working model of a fence for a show jumping event, where the height of the fence can be
    adjusted electro-mechanically (limit/proximity switches should be incorporated as part of the
    control system).

    Think i'll be doing C

    I can't believe I'm doing D, I was going to do B but I'm just really bad at design. Good with circuit boards.
