My group project with Elsa and Cassidy meant to be a robot that moves around, plays a song, and stops everything when the light sensor detects no light.
The materials we used are a light sensor, a green foam dodgeball, 2 3 colored LED lights, hummingbird, wires, computer, cables, duck tape, and part of an old toy car.
The tools used were scissors, cardboard scissors, a power outlet, and a soldering iron.
Getting the car wheels to move with the extra weight on top was hard but we took some weight off and duck taped the foam ball onto the toy car part.
Seeing the final project in motion was the best part.
I did not have to use any new tools but I learned that there has to be less weight on an object in order for it to move, but our problems were resolved.
If I had the time I would program the light sensor so the idea of having the robot stop when light is detected work, and also for it to play music and have it look prettier.
