Bethanie Fentiman<\/a>\u00a0is an 18 year old who, faced with delivering some A-level coursework, thought that she’d take inspiration from\u00a0Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s\/Sorceror’s Stone and create a real-life version of Wizard Chess!<\/p>\n

First of all, she used an Instructable<\/a>\u00a0to get her started. Then, she gathered together her materials: motors, wood, gears, an electromagnet, a chess set, a relay board and, of course, a Raspberry Pi. You can read more about the project here<\/a> and you can see it in action below. Other videos are also available<\/a>. It’s a tremendous achievement and Bethanie intends to carry on with it to get it to eventually play a full game!<\/p>\n
