Scaffolding: Progress Review Team 9

 For the game Dr. Mario (NES) this controller mimics a pharmacy pill counting station. The spatula will move the pill left and right with a toggle switch. The pill dial will rotate the pill clockwise and counter-clockwise. Lastly, the pill bottle and cap use a light sensor inside the bottle to detect if you have closed the bottle, almost closed it, or have not closed it to hard drop or soft drop the pill. This is spring loaded so it resets back to not dropping the pill as well as for convenience of use. This controller provides the pharmaceutical experience as well as all the controls needed to play the game intuitively.
