Place: The project is carried out in my friend's room and it is to be presented in E48B on Wedenesday.

Done!!

A Word from the Author:

since using 1 stick is not strong enuff, i decided to use 2 sticks. so it's double my job but it's worth it.

i settled down on 2V coz 3V and above is just too difficult and time consuming. hehex

u actually can try strings instead of cellotape it's just the matter of hardworkingness..

i'm just a lazy bum so i settled on masking tape only.. hahax.
