For our project, we decided to integrate entertainment magic and the illusion of moving objects. Our robot is decorated as a wizard, resembling Harry Potter. It is wearing a wizard hat and holds a wand in its right arm. We programmed the brick to play the Harry Potter theme song throughout the performance (wrote […]
For our “Robot Magician”, we made a robot that can perform card tricks Mechanically, our robot is relatively simple, it uses 2 motors and a ball bearing to move and turn. We built a card dealer out of the EV3 motor and various pieces which, in ideal conditions, allow us to deal out […]
We decided to try something risky with this project. By making our robot a dangerous machine to work with – as in there is a pocketknife attached to it. After being inspired by Scam School, we decided to facilitate the “Stab the Chosen Card with a Knife” trick with our robot doing the “stabbing” part […]
For this project we created a robot that makes a coin disappear right before your eyes. The trick starts off with the robot moving forward and grabbing a clear cup with a tissue placed over it. The robot then moves this cup on top of the coin. It then releases the […]
David Carratu Paul Gelhaus Geoff the Magician Our robot Geoff the Magician performs a disappearing ball magic trick. You place the metal ball in front of the robot and Geoff will make the ball disappear with its magic cup. Geoff lowers its arm, spins the cup for five seconds, and raises it, and the […]
So for our 4th Project we have made a robotic cup machine that plays the traditional game of ball and cups but with a modern twist. The most unique aspect of this robot is the fact that the motor rotating the cups can itself be rotated around, which makes the cups really hard […]
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 […]
Design: For this project, we created a dog that performs a magic trick. The trick is that the dog “eats” a yellow ribbon, magically transforms it into a green ribbon, and then spits out the green ribbon. How it works: We had two motors, one medium motor at the back that would wheel […]
For this project, we made a magic box. When you put items in the box the door closes, and the object magically disappears when the door opens. Then the door closes again and once it opens again the object magically reappears. For this magic trick, we have a secret door that is acting as […]
We were given the task of threading the wires through the loops and closing the loops, which was potentially a task for an astronaut in space. So what we decided to do was to make a handheld tool that could be used to complete this task in any orientation, and simply one-handed, regardless of which […]
Our task was to make a robotic tool compatible with an EVA space suit and that would function in zero gravity. The tool was supposed to a place green wire through twist ties and then secure the wire down by twisting the twist ties. We accomplished this by having 2 L shaped arms sticking out from […]
For this project we created a tool that would be able to route a wire through several black cables then secure the wire by twisting the cables. This was done using a combination of the EV3 brick, a medium motor, a large motor, two touch sensors, and an assortment of other lego pieces. The tool […]
Our tool was designed to route wires for extravehicular activity. It utilizes a gear with four sectors to twist the wire ties after each wire tie has been inserted in a different sector. The gear was 3D printed. The gear twists the ties with the help of the medium motor, which is activated by pressing […]
