alarm robot
i wanted to make an alarm for tracking tasks but i wanted it more روش
so i selected a robot idea (tiny little robot) that has sound for alarm
i want to make a robot to be more interactive
it works for 8 hours (or as i like )
i set the number of my tasks on it and the time for each one and it starts with a voice massege "طبا انت عارف انت هتعمل ايه دلوقتي"
while the countdown it has side massage like if it was just 15min for the deadline it saya"احنا هننام؟"
and a lot of that مليش ف الكودينج والله بس الله المعين يعني
at every achievement the led turns into green

Project Idea & General Features
The project is a Task-Tracking Alarm Robot — a small, interactive desk robot that helps you manage daily tasks and deadlines in a fun, engaging way.
It combines visual cues, sound alerts, and movement to keep you motivated and aware of your progress.
General Features:
Small robot body with a built-in screen that displays:
Remaining time for each task.
An animated "eye" that blinks or looks around for interactivity.
On/Off button to control the alarm.
Buzzer for comic sounds and alrm sounds
Built-in speaker for alarms, fun sound effects, and short voice messages.
RGB LED indicator:
Green = task completed on time.
Red = task delivered late.
Blue (or other color) = task in progress.
Rotating movement (360° spin or more) when the alarm triggers, adding a playful physical motion.
How it Works:
You input the number of daily tasks and the time allocated for each (manually or via a simple connected app).
The robot starts counting down for each task.
When a task’s time is almost up or finishes
It plays a sound and shows a comic message on the screen.
The LED changes color according to performance.
The robot rotates as a playful attention-grabber.
You mark the task as completed (on time or late), and the robot responds with an encouraging or funny reaction.

Construction Parts
Body frame: wooden body with placements for the main control unit maybe will need some parts 3d printed
A rotating base section for the motor mechanism.
Front face area to mount the screen and LED.
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
Tactile pushbutton to turn the alarm on/off.
“Task Complete” pushbutton to register task completion.
Rotary encoder or navigation buttons to set task count and time.
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
Screen displaying countdown timers, and an animated eye.
buzzer for comic messages
RGB LED lighting green when a task is completed on time, red when late, blue while in progress.
Rotating base movement (36° or 360° spin) when the alarm triggers.
Speaker playing alarm tones and humorous sound effects when time is up.

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
