- Abacus;
- Balsa Wood;
- LED lights and a 3V battery (optional).


* Smaller size (inner) wood as the stand for the abacus.
* Larger size (outer) wood as the cover.


* Abacus.


* Joining parts.


* The box (below) --> the box was made out of two parts (higher structure is needed, so that a certain range of area can be captured by the camera)
* The box (above) --> the inner part is slightly lower than the outer part to support the abacus.


* Abacus placed inside.
* There is a 'reset button' attached on the abacus. (setting everything to 0).


* A door at the bottom of the box (for camera and LED lights adjustment).



* LED lights. (doesn't affect much to the camera tracking, with or without the LED lights)
