3.1.3 During The Testing Procedure:
Although testing seems very straight forward, there are still several hazards to
be aware of. User hazards are minimal however damage to hardware and
property is still possible.

3.2 Resource Requirements
There are many components to this project which will be sourced from a widely varied
field. Due to the nature of this project it will be constructed on a tight budget. This
means aesthetics and practicality may suffer to some degree. Most resources will either
be scavenged from existing products or borrowed from institutions such as USQ where
possible.
