Silly Walks

The purpose of the Silly Walks project is to apply our understanding of designing, constructing, and coding into creating a robot that moves forwards. However, the project comes with the specification of building a robot without wheels. In conclusion, our project was successful in meeting the requirements of the Silly Walks lesson. We were able to meet the concepts of this lesson by showing effective communication, collaboration, and conducting research. We ultimately came to the idea of constructing a robot with arms to pull itself forwards. Our robot was able to move forward, meeting the project’s expectations.

Shoe For You Design Statement 

The purpose of this project was to create a shoe in order to match a client of our choice requests. My group chose Elena and her requests was to have a shoe with interchangeable soles that are versatile for basketball, rock climbing, and field hockey. One of the shoes needs to be higher than the other one since she has a longer leg than the other. We spent 17 class days and each class is 80 minutes. In total, we spent 22.6 hours on this project. The material for the shoes that we used were Neoprene, leather, Eva foam, string, shoe sole. In the end the shoe came out very well and while it did not meet the idea we had in mind, it absolutely sufficed and came out well and presentable.
