## Description of ideas
### Random shit
I will bring my radios, MCUs and other shit like that. Also, I suggest we leave the sticker sheets uncut, so that we add **more** interactivity to our stand (by making people cut their own stickers).

### Puck.js bop it
Have a server, which could be any BT-enabled MCU, which is connected to an 8x8 matrix which shows the following instructions for the 2 players (2 pucks) involved:


![Puck it rules](puck_it.png)


The game ends if either of the following conditions are met:
- One of the players does the wrong move - the other one wins
- One of the players doesn't do the action on time (i.e. takes longer than a second to do it)

This is going to be really difficult considering:
- None of us has significant experience with bluetooth (except maybe serial communication but still)
- Even if we do manage to do it, bluetooth is quite unreliable and overall a pain to deal with
- We need multiple people to work on this

### Platrix
Working on this [already](https://github.com/CircuitReeRUG/platrix). r/place but irl and on one of these:

### Spectrogram image
Have people upload images to a simple webserver (controlled by a raspberry pi/laptop) and display the images on a monitor/laptop. We can transmit with a hackrf/raspi and receive with an SDR stick.

Here's an example using [spectrum_painter](https://github.com/polygon/spectrum_painter)
