Davidson Makers 2015-16
Long-term projects
Grace Stewart | Illustratorbot - The purpose of The Illustrator Bot, which is operated by a ping sensor, is to draw interesting designs with markers. I wanted the robot to rotate in different circles each time its sensor was activated, pulling markers behind it. | |
Ella Brait and Samantha Gorton | Marble Run 3000 - A marble run with an elevator to life the marbles up and it keeps on going through the course. | |
Eli Barajas | Box of Fear - My project is a box that you reach into and a ping sensor activates a fake "snake fang" on a servo that touches your forearm. | |
Walker Burdick and Marcos Gulati | Wooden Sound Harp - A wooden sound machine / harp that makes musical notes when you block the light. | |
Connor Meny | Jumping Spider - A 3D printed spider on a string that is connected to a base that goes up and down using an Arduino with a ping sensor and a stepper motor. The idea is supposed to startle people while they walk past. | |
Molly Wilson and Mikaley Wilson | Wilson Walkers - Stilts, with a design based one by the Stiltman Company. With room for improvement, these stilts are just one step of a really cool project. | |
Austin Graff and Andrew Herold | The Mysterio Box - A wooden box with a clear bowl on top that fills with fog from dry ice in a bowl inside the box. | |
Nathaniel Peixotto and Wesley Schwietert | The Golden Rocket - A 3D designed rocket that seemingly defies gravity when you get near. Lifted by a stepper motor controlled by an Arduino triggered by a ping sensor. | |
Grant Perry and Andy Reeds | Battlebots - A large wooden ring with a uniquely designed and decorated 3D printed remote-controlled robots that try to push the other bots out of the ring. | |
Dylan Galiffa | Light Suit - A morph body suit with color-changing LEDs | |
Karen Rodas | Recycled Face - An art piece made from recycled computer and hardware parts | |
Aaron Foree | Quarter box - When you put a quarter on my box, all you have to do is put your hand in front of a sensor and the arm comes and drags it down into an area below | |
Henry Nguyen | The lifter - This remote-controlled robot acts like a forklift and can lift small objects with its linear stepper motor. | |
Jefferson Glickstein | Light-Seeking Tank - This remote-controlled robot finds the brightest light source in a room at the click of a button, and turns its turret to face it. The 3D-printed chassis and turret really help the look of the robot. | |
Max Rahe | Robocar - Remote controlled car that moves on buttons you push. The car has a small backpack to carry items. The car also has two routines. The first is an automotive mode. The second is a random drive mode. |
