TOOLS AND TECH PROJECT'''
 +
 
 +
'''We started the project by setting the assignment to our own hands. The idea of a battle with fighting robots wasn’t really something for us… So we came up with the idea of drawings, patterns and the multiple possibilities that came along. We had a lot of difficulties getting started and the choosing of THE right idea. We had so many options but most of them weren’t realistic with the tools and knowledge we had. We thought about drawing options like scratching, painting and fading sand away.
 +
 +
To achieve this we used bristlebot robots to stimulate random illustrations.
 +
Making the botz wasn’t that hard, we watched a tutorial and made our own bot. Soon after, we experimented with different surfaces on a lightbox like sand, tea, ink, charcoal and more. The tea and sand worked best because the light got a change to shine trough. The bot created with the vibration aesthetics circles in the tea and made eventually really nice illustration. We wanted to connect the two bots to achieve more dynamic and more movement. We also wanted to upgrade the bots because it looked better and we wanted to make them stronger and more stable. So instead of using one brush, we used two of them and created a body around them. We connected the bots with each other by using an iron piece that we have made. This piece leaves place for the bots to move in every way because of the space in between. The bots look like they are competing with each other, dancing and working together. This interaction results in a illustration that’s based on coincidence.
 +
 
 +
We are happy with the results but we had hoped that the spinning around in circles would happen more, like it was during the test. But this is probably because of the fact that we upgraded the simple bots in to the double brushes.
 +
 
 +
For the lightbox we decided to work with Christmas leds. The first led we have tried was with a adapter. We did an experiment with the voltage and we also discover that this cube was the answer why the leds gets equally power. And that was not what we had expected, we thought that was there for the electrical wiring. We got a little bit of help and us was told that it worked better and was less risky if we worked with leds with batteries. So we bought a brother and sister for the discarded green leds and start over again. First we have checked the voltage and we discovered that the battery leds also worked as a single led. This was very positive because that mean that we can make parallel rows and groups besides the amount of the group. By the green leds we had to calculate the amount of the group otherwise the hole led row wouldn’t work anymore. The wiring of the led that we eventually use if of the discards green leds.'''

Our concept is to make e light box that has a imput and a output.

We use christmas leds to light up the outside of the light box that communicate

with the ARDUINO , where we can switch the light on and off.
 +
Besides the leds that we use on the outside of the lightbox we also use leds in the inside of the
 +
lightbox where you can see through. We have create a  A3 format window where we place a glass or a transparant

paper where the bristle bots are moving in a suspicious way that forms a pattern & texture

 +
 +
The lightbox is painted and the lightshow can begin.
 +
In the box we choose Ikea leds light up the top of the plexiglass window.
 +
 +
[[File:1 A.jpeg|300px]] [[File:B1.jpeg|530px]]
 +
 +
We decided to work with Christmas leds. The first led we have tried was with a adapter and was bought at Gamma. We did an experiment with the voltage and the volume and we had to figure out of whether the voltage calculator or the lights didn’t work. We got a little bit of help and us was told that it worked better and was less risky if we worked with leds with batteries.
 +
 +
[[File:C2.jpeg|240px]] [[File:C.jpeg|430px]]
 +
 +
We also discover that this cube was the answer why the leds gets equally power. And that was not what we had expected, we thought that was there for the electrical wiring.
 +
 +
[[File:E.jpeg|400px]] [[File:D.jpg|400px]]
 +
 +
So we bought a brother and sister for the discarded green leds and start over again.
 +
First we have checked the voltage and we discovered that the battery leds also worked as a single led. That was different then the first green leds. This was very positive because that mean that we can make parallel rows and groups besides the amount of the group. By the green leds we had to calculate the amount of the group otherwise the hole led row wouldn’t work anymore. We use the wiring of the green leds that we didn't needed anymore.
 +
 +
[[File:H.jpeg|530px]]  [[File:J.jpeg|300px]]
 +
 +
So with the new battery leds in our pocket it looked like the plan what had in mind was possible and more important do-able. The idea of the lightshow was very simple because we are actually not that nerdy as we look. We had two idea’s but after experimenting only one option was left to explore

[[File:L.jpeg|415px]] [[File:M.jpeg|415px]]

 +
There was an problem with the wiring because every solded wire you have to tape it of otherwise you make an electrical breakdown.
 +
The leds do not work because the solded wire touch each other.
 +
 +
[[File:N.jpeg|300px]] [[File:O.jpeg|300px]]
 +
 +
The bristle bots have to move over the plexiglass window and they are very fast and unpredictable. That the light box could’t move was a fact but we can manipulate the view of our public and let the lights move. Over and over again. Over the top!

Na overleg met Simon bleek dat ons voorgaande idee niet voldoende was voor de in- en output daarom hebben we het aangepast. Het idee is nu als volgt:
 +
Op een door ons gemaakte lichtbak (geheel lichtdicht) rijdt een klein robottje rond, het idee van dit robottje zal lijken op die van een bristlebot. De plaat die op de lichtbak ligt is zwart geverfd of bedekt met een of andere substantie die het robottje, naar mate het langer over het oppervlak heen rijdt, steeds meer weg krast/verplaatst. Omdat er onder deze plaat dus een lichtbak zit komt er steeds meer licht vrij. Op de robot of ergens zwevend daarboven hangt een LDR (lichtgevoelige sensor) deze begint steeds meer te reageren op het toenemende hoeveelheid licht. De lampjes van de lichtbak zullen als reactie hierop beginnen te knipperen oid.
 +
Dit alles moet geheel volgens een willekeurig patroon gebeuren, het rijden van de robot, en het knipperen van de lampjes. Dit omdat onze battle willekeur tegen vooraf vastgelegd is.

GROUP 4 | NINA GABY MARINKA LOTTE TOOLS AND TECH PROJECT

We started the project by setting the assignment to our own hands. The idea of a battle with fighting robots wasn’t really something for us… So we came up with the idea of drawings, patterns and the multiple possibilities that came along. We had a lot of difficulties getting started and the choosing of THE right idea. We had so many options but most of them weren’t realistic with the tools and knowledge we had. We thought about drawing options like scratching, painting and fading sand away.

To achieve this we used bristlebot robots to stimulate random illustrations. Making the botz wasn’t that hard, we watched a tutorial and made our own bot. Soon after, we experimented with different surfaces on a lightbox like sand, tea, ink, charcoal and more. The tea and sand worked best because the light got a change to shine trough. The bot created with the vibration aesthetics circles in the tea and made eventually really nice illustration. We wanted to connect the two bots to achieve more dynamic and more movement. We also wanted to upgrade the bots because it looked better and we wanted to make them stronger and more stable. So instead of using one brush, we used two of them and created a body around them. We connected the bots with each other by using an iron piece that we have made. This piece leaves place for the bots to move in every way because of the space in between. The bots look like they are competing with each other, dancing and working together. This interaction results in a illustration that’s based on coincidence.

We are happy with the results but we had hoped that the spinning around in circles would happen more, like it was during the test. But this is probably because of the fact that we upgraded the simple bots in to the double brushes.

For the lightbox we decided to work with Christmas leds. The first led we have tried was with a adapter. We did an experiment with the voltage and we also discover that this cube was the answer why the leds gets equally power. And that was not what we had expected, we thought that was there for the electrical wiring. We got a little bit of help and us was told that it worked better and was less risky if we worked with leds with batteries. So we bought a brother and sister for the discarded green leds and start over again. First we have checked the voltage and we discovered that the battery leds also worked as a single led. This was very positive because that mean that we can make parallel rows and groups besides the amount of the group. By the green leds we had to calculate the amount of the group otherwise the hole led row wouldn’t work anymore. The wiring of the led that we eventually use if of the discards green leds.

Our concept is to make e light box that has a imput and a output. We use christmas leds to light up the outside of the light box that communicate with the ARDUINO , where we can switch the light on and off.
