Tools & Tech Group 2

Hi! We are group 2, we are making a creating robot that will cause chaos and destruction. Or at least chaos.

First Ideas and Sketches

We started our project by making a few sketches and coming up with some ideas for making a creating robot.

Confetti Robot

After we talked about this, we decided to make a confetti robot. Lieve and Robin went out for balloons, Fatma made the confetti and Adinda got the car. Our idea was to use the car to make our robot moving. While moving we want the robot to pick in balloons so that they explode and a huge bom of confetti will go of.

Robot comes to live

Before we can start building we needed some parts and some extra ideas about how to shape our robot and spread the confetti.

Parts & Ideas

Here our first balloon filled with confetti. The experiment turned out to be really successful, the poppin sound and the burst of confetti definitely made quite the impression.

The Making Of

The time finally came to put our robot together. It was a challenge to get all the parts working like we wanted to. During class Fatma went to the store to get a solution for a sensor that altered our robot to take action. She came back with a Halloween skull that reacts to movement and sound. At the end of the class we had our Arduino code and the robot finally working together correctly.
