For our project, we decided to do something risky but creative to tackle the issue of crossing the gap. Considering the 45 minute time constraint, we still were able to cross the EV3 a maximum of 13 inches across. We achieved this by basically mounting an EV3 and a motor with a tire on top […]
Projects
Duc, Julia, Maxwell, Ashwin Gap Jumper
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 […]
Kevin, Chris, Handy, and Nick’s Gap Hopper
For this project we created a robot that could cross a 6 inch gap without any human help. This was done under a 45 minute time constraint, therefore there is room for improvement in the design that would increase the robots ability to cross gaps. The final in class […]
Kevin, Lucy, David, and Ahmed (Don’t) Mind the Gap
In order to cross the gap, the four of us did not find a feasible and proper plan until it was too late. While our strategy of brainstorming and then designing (or thinking of designing) over and over is an essential part of the Engineering Design Process, it can be difficult to change designs multiple […]
Daniel, Jason, Yeks, and Liam’s Project
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 […]
Kevin, Lucy, David, and Ahmed’s Haunted House
For our haunted house project, we made multiple parts, some of which acted together and others which acted separately. We had spiders moving up and down on fishing line, hanging above the walkway, a monitor that used an ultrasonic sensor to trigger the movement of the picture’s eyes, a car with a spider attached to […]
Jen, Thu, Katie, and Taswar Haunted House
Project: There are three parts to this project, all initiated with a push of a touch sensor. The first part includes a hand inside a jack-o-lantern bucket. When the button is pressed, the hand would reach out with little spiders and spider webs in it. Then it would come back down and reset […]
Nick, Handy, Chris and Kevin’s Halloween creation
For our Halloween project we created a series of actions that are initiated with the push of a button by the audience, in hopes of getting candy. Basically, there is a sign that prompts the audience to push a button and then reach in a black pumpkin style container for candy. When a person pushes […]
“Captain” Jack Sparrow’s Free Candy
Made By: Faizan Muhammad, Adan Leos, Chris Camacho, Justin Reyes For the Haunted House at the CEEO, our team decided to contribute a classic pop-up doll as part of our exhibit. Our project is a pirate skeleton that pops out of its coffin when somebody tries to take candy on top of the coffin. We […]
Haunted House Robot (by Julia, Maxwell, Duc, and Ashwin)
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 […]
Daniel, Jason, Yeks, and Liam’s Robot
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, […]
Halloween Robot
David Carratu Paul Gelhaus Mateo Guaman Chris Reik Halloween Robot Documentation For this Halloween Project our group decided to create a robot exhibit where the kids come up to our table and press a button to start the action of the robots. First a robot comes out from under the table and swings […]
The Magic Box
Handy Dorceus Nick Bowers Project 4: Magic Trick Objectives: Create functional EV3 Machine that either performs a magic trick or aids in the completion in a magic trick. Program: For the program we used a while loop so that we could just run the program forever so that we would never need to […]
Daniel and Jason’s Magic Trick
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 […]
David and Ahmed’s Magical Coffee Break
Our robot performs the magic trick of turning black coffee into “brown” coffee (milk mixed in). There are two wheels controlled by one motor for driving, another motor used to swing the arm in and out of the coffee cup, and a medium motor used to spin our stirrer. Another motor is attached as a […]
