Section 1 Network Upgrading

Arm Design - Network Upgrading Task 1

I have chosen the Arm Design number 3. I like option 3 as it has a motor and the others don't. I also like how it looks, and the fact that it spins.

Arm Design - Task 2

My arm moves up and down and can be used with a task model when you need to hit a talk model.

I built it by getting 3 long red rods and putting them together with a small grey rod going through all of them. One of the long rods went on one side of the grey rod to make the arm more stable. I secured it with 2 3x1 orange bricks 1 on each end to make the arm more stable again. I chose this particular grey rod because the arms swung in a more controlled way than on thinner rods.

You are meant to attach the arm to the side of a robot and program it to work as you wish.

Section 3 Information Processing

Arm design for section 3 - Information Processing

The arms are used to catch an item which has been thrown from another robot. The arms move round in a circle.

Challenge 3 - Robot Design

Matilda Y5.

This robot was created for the purpose of carrying and delivering drinks to people in Hospitals, Hotels, Schools and people at home. The two platforms on the side are the cup holders that carry and deliver your requested drink (e.g. water, juice, tea or coffee). At the front of its face are its sensors, they tell the robot if there is an obstacle in the way so the robot doesn't bump into it. Its head is like a steering wheel it controls where the robot goes and moves. Finally it has eyes because it's cuter that way.
