Division of Labor - "The way Mr. Ford dreamed of..."

  • SethE (aka ZeroFreq) - designed and maintained The nPhaze Boys web site; wrote the edge/corner detection portion of the PCIRS; worked until 5am to finish the poster; synthesized final report.
  • Ben Graf (aka BPSK) - creative consultant on The nPhaze Boys web site; designed and co-wrote the rotation portion of the PCIRS; worked until 5am to finish the poster; constructed the Gigante TwoClubs; wrote final report section; best Supporting Actor in the made-for-TV movie "All I Want Is A Christmas Tree."
  • Michael Victory (aka HD Abs) - creative consultant on The nPhaze Boys web site; designed and co-wrote the rotation portion of the PCIRS; worked until 5am to finish the poster; wrote final report section; acted as programming liaison during final report write-up; Chief Efficiency Officer (CEO) during project.
  • Ray Wagner (aka DFT hardcore) - created and maintained all card images (including library image, complete deck and test images); photo airbrushing consultant; designed and wrote the correlation portion of the PCIRS; worked until 5am to finish the poster; wrote final report section.

Here are a few pictures of our first attempt at card image creation. Leave it to Rice engineers to over-complicate a situation. Anyway, here they are...


Mike concentrates on the task at hand.


Seth realized his group's utter stupidity as the idea of SCANNING the cards is brought up.


Ray.
