Tech Fair Ideas

Tech Fair Ideas

As I am partnered with Chaeyon for the tech fair, we decided that for our project, we would create a robot. So both of us, separately researched for ideas on different ways to create a robot. The following are a list of my ideas that I have found.

EV3RSTORM

This robot is created from Lego blocks and is one of the complicated Lego robots to create, how this robot works is, following the steps given, you build the robot and then plug it into your computer and use an application called the EV3 Programmer App to make it move. As it comes with instructions (although still tricky), this is possible to recreate and tweak a few things. With the program, you can control the movements of the robot, as well as the muscles of the contraption. This was created by the Lego company and can be bought as one of its robot kits. The product benefits society in a way of  teaching kids about robotics, which is starting to become a lot more popular as robots are used in many things and can even replace people's jobs.

Reflection: As I already knew I wanted to do something that was related to Robotics, the main keywords I used was robot and searched in Robot Ideas, I quickly found everything I was looking for. 

Robot That Creates Art

The robot shown above is to an intermediate level, the unique thing about this robot is that it can create art with the markers attached to it and a canvas under it. To build would require a starting robot kit and markers (or paintbrushes) and a canvas. I think this would be great to recreate because it isn't very difficult and it is quite unique to other robots. How it works is you place a canvas under the robot and control it using the remote as it moves, the markers draw over the canvas. 

Reflection: Once again I searched up Robot Ideas, however this time my main focus was finding a robot with something unique about it, which in this one was drawing. When I looked through different robot websites, I found this.
