For our project, we created a musical box with 3 different components. One component was an electrical piano that could play a one octave scale. This piano was made of 8 touch sensors that were attached through the back by 3 different axels and taped together for extra support. The 8 sensors were then attached […]
For our project, we made a musical instrument with 3 components. One component is the keyboard. The keyboard is composed of 8 touch sensors which play a scale of notes. The second component is 3 motors that play a sound effect. The motors used a read rotation sensor that plays sound effects when the angle […]
For our project, we created a game called Bubble Shoot. The purpose of the game is to shoot all the bubbles before your opponent. The user interface includes a motor with a wheel attached to a touch sensor. The motor can be turned using the wheel attached to the motor. When the motor is […]
For our project, we made a long car and placed the EV3 brick in the middle. There is one large motor controlling the front two wheels and another large motor controlling the back two wheels. The two motors are facing opposite direction from each other. The two axels are attached by two stick-like structures that […]
For our project, we created a shadow puppet show. We did this using multiple parts behind a screen to tell a story. The story is that when the audience rings the doorbell, it wakes up the skeleton. The skeleton taps the spider on the shoulder. The spider then goes down to the basement to get […]
For our trick we made a robot disappear. We did this using two daisy-chained robots separated by a trap door. The robot below the trap door is holding the door closed. The robot on top of the trap door has a conveyor belt that covers it with the fabric. The robot then beeps 5 times […]
For our project, we had to route a wire through some twist ties, then secure the wire by twisting them. We accomplished this by putting a motor on one side of the brick and attaching a beam with holes in it to the motor. This way, the twist ties could go into the holes, and […]
Duc Nguyen and Julia Ferreira Robotics Color Sensor Investigation For our project, we decided to test the color sensor, particularly the RGB color detector. We set up the sensor by attaching it to the brick so that the bottom of the sensor touches the ground, then we stabilized the brick by putting legs […]
Duc Nguyen and Julia Ferreira Intro to Engineering: Robotics Robotic Animal For our robotic animal, we decided to make a frog. We used the brick as the body and attached two motors to either side. To each motor, we attached a white, angled piece to serve as the […]
