  • "I'd be interested to know if the one in the bucket is laid out exactly the same or if it has the perspective flipped. They laid the diagram out to roughly match what you can see from a position next to the panel, even with a handy "you are here" marker. If they did the same in the upper control panel that'd be pretty clever.One change I might make is to move the rotation axis off the panel and make it a more substantial handle that's laid out perfectly horizontal. Why? Because the rotation axis is the only one that makes the panel itself move, and I'd want one that's easier to keep a grip on while you're walking a slow orbit around the machine, with a tiny switch like that you'll get it pulled away from you and that'd make the machine jerk, bad for the machine and anyone in the bucket."

  • "This is actually really great for a lot of non-yelling-about-mullennimulz reasons. If you have a hat or an umbrella for the rain it's harder to see elevated traffic lights, also if you're shorter or use a wheelchair it's harder to see things high up especially in a crowd. Some people just aren't comfortable making eye contact so they look at their shoes. Warning lights at street level just make sense for more than just smartphone users."
