Rotating Effect Control of Resonant Wave I

The Motor and Light Connector

My floor will control the rotating effect of my ceiling sculpture. However, before designing my pad, how I can make my light rotate without twisting its wires is a big problem. After discussing with my cousin, a professional machine designer, PC_Wang , he designed the motor and light connector for me. Itconsists of two bearings, carbon brush, and a gear motor. It allows my LED sculpture to rotate without the problems of twisting wires. The image below is sample.
After solving the crucial problem, I am working on my floor pad. The principle of how my floor pad works is pretty similar to the DDR (Dancing Dace Revolution) dancing pad. There will be a form between tow conductor layers. There are several holes on the very thin form. When people step on it, the conducting part will influence the result on the screen. The following images showsa DDR dancing pad which is taken apart.
Based on the same principle, I will make a floor pad which has the same function. It will allow the dancer to control the rotating effects of my sculptures. The flowing videos shows my teacher and I testing the floor pad.
In the video, different parts of the pad can control the different lights on the screen
