A chunk of dry ice in a water bottle with a valve would indeed produce a smoke/fog effect Razz

dry ice will do more of a ground fog and won't build up, if you have the stuff to do it i reckon it'll do a better job ;->

Anyway back on topic.... I think there are more important things which we need to sort out than fog in the pit. That will be very low on the priority list, for everyone I hope.

The SparkFun LED displays arrived. Need to get to programming those.

Ah yes can you check if all the panels are there? It should be 8, and we might need to cut one in half for the door.

Ah well you probably have an extra. Should be 7 and 2 halves.

4880 squared I think so they might be 20mm short over the entire length but we can just leave the very edges exposed a little.
