Plans
Various members have ideas to build a "space game" inspired by the MakerFaire LHS BikeShed.

Quoting Barnaby over of the Google Group:

Ideal project for the Pi workshop .... One networked Pi and LCD per window should give us loads of GPIO to wire up all the old heavy duty switches, sliders, knobs, and keypads.

Looks like is probably the most Pi friendly 3D engine and would easily do everything we need. (The windows aren't really very useful anyway it is the flashing dials you want people looking at).

For me getting (or making) an actual spinning radar screen would be a priority, but finding and being inspired by old controls and dials you have never even imagined will be the most fun.
