It is a welcoming robot which dispenses candy, and when you take the candy, it becomes happy and shake its head.
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
A welcoming robot that shows expressions sensing the actions that you take the candy . The robot has a little box of candy for guests.
It has an LED Matrix screen on the head that displays eyes & mouth moving to give expressions.
The robot has an ultrasonic sensor to detect nearby guests, and once a guest approaches.
it opens its box and dispenses candy. after it senses that the guest takes the candy, the robot shakes its head .
the dispenser will be by spiral wires and a servo motor

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
