On the third of March we started Project One. Create an Interactive Drawing Machine out of Lego Nxt. We had two weeks before we had to present our robot to the class on the 18th.
My group made our robot draw circles with a whiteboard marker pen on the ground. We called it the Vandal Bot. It went through many reincarnations after its first construction but nothing lethal. we used the base for the basic Tribot in our robot.
First we were going to have the pen out back and have the colour sensor out front pointing at the ground to catch the change in paper colour when we put different coloured pieces of cellophane across the light source, Unfortunately this didn't work so we decided to use darkness and light.
Our robot would sense when it was light and sit there patiently then when it when dark it would go crazy vandalizing, thrus The Vandal Bot. Then we had to give it a reason and a personality. We decided to make it draw circles as its vandal signature, because that was its eye. Its always watching you, waiting till you least expect it to take revenge for being rebuilt and disassembled all the time.
We also gave it a cape.
