The Spinning Shapes toy is tilted at a 45 degree angle so when the shapes are placed they can fall into the holder created. A large tire turns the blue holder. There are 3 speeds, slow, medium, and fast. When pressed, a timer will start with a beeping noise repeating more often as the game […]
Currently, the Spinning Shapes toy has a touch sensor that is bumped. Attached is a medium motor with a wheel and this turns the blue holder and. The user has to place the shapes in the desired spot. We have multiple legos on each side to catch the shapes when they fall. This is all […]
The goal of the game was to move the small red ball and touch the bouncing purple balls. The purple ball started at one, then split to two, then to three, and then into four balls. We connected two motors to the EV3 brick. The one connected to port A controlled horizontal animations and port […]
The intention of our robot was to have our EV3 brick cross a six-inch gap. The large motor was supposed to push the belt over the gap, and then when the belt was over, the medium motor was supposed to move the gears, moving the EV3 brick over the gap. However, this did not prove […]
Our robot consisted of two parts: one would pop up a gravestone and one would make floating knives move up and down. For our project, we originally attempted to use bluetooth to communicate between the two EV3 bricks, spending a large amount of time attempting this. However, no matter what we did, […]
Our magic trick uses a forced card to make it appear that their card changed color and design. The forced card is then placed randomly back in the deck, while a duplicate with a different back is on the bottom of the deck. Our robot then shuffles through the cards, until someone sees the odd […]
For our project, we needed to produce a machine that would unscrew a nut and screw it back into a different bolt in zero gravity, which is simulated by going upside down. Our machine completes this task by surrounding the nut, not allowing it to move up or down once it is […]
For this project, we tested the range of the light sensor on various colors. We used ten different colors, ranging in brightness. To perform our tests, we put our sensor at the end of a tape measure, and at increments of a half inch, we noted what the sensor was reading for each specific color. […]
Jason Figueroa and Daniel Geary. For our robot animal project we built a giraffe. We went with a long neck design to make sure that it is obivious that our robot represented a giraffe. Behind the neck are reinforcement legos to keep it sturdy and strong. Connected to the neck is a weak motor […]
