Searching for the idea
First of all, I browsed a public website like youtube to search for an idea like last weeks assignments.
I found that robot simple, catchy, and easy to make, so I began to design it.

Sample VS Final prouduct
Sample
Final product :"D
The first step was the preparation of the lights (robot eyes)
they were connected in parallel
Second step was inserting the wires inside the head and body
The third Step was connecting the head with the body
Finally, Complete the enclosure
Development/Implementation Process
Welcome my little Zico- F16
Overcoming Challenges
The main problem of this project was that the tires were not able to move because its dimensions do not match with the DC hight
in this case I remade it again with a little bit hight to touch the surface and move easily!
Community of Learning
Find a weirdo like you and never let them go
Group HACKATHON
Working with a team of creative minds always helps you to learn new things!
Unfortunately, I lost at this hackathon but I learned a lot about WINING stratigies!
The winner team has used a 5v adaptor instead of 9v one
that make its car less speed and more stable on the ground, so it can push other cars out easily.
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
Connecting more than component on the breadboard at the same time was one of the skills that I have learned at this week, and it will help me to connect between the buttons, buzzer, and LCD in my final project
