Finally, here is my Pexel Rover Petting Bot using Hummingbird Kit!!!
I had so much fun (and got frustrations too) as I designed the original Rover Bot in my previous post and upgrade the rover into a petting bot instead.
I got all excited as I called my Pexel Rover Pet Bot by his name and he stopped and wagged his tail. I used the Sound Sensor to capture the noise. I used the Dial Sensor to pet him and that would make my dog bot move his head and change the light intensity and the color of his eyes. Like the original design, my dog moves randomly and avoids obstacles too using the Distance Sensor. I included some buzzer sounds as well for additional output.
Since the original light sensor was completely unusable, I need to replace it with the Dial Sensor.
I would assume the delay in responses is due to the Bluetooth connection of my dog bot and my laptop. But, I can’t wait to showcase this to my students and to the rest of my family.
Overall the journey was fun as I get to remember my old dog, bond with hubby as we designed the structure, and learn a lot too using Snap Programming.
Classroom Projects I will incorporate can be the Build Projects we have in our resources including something personal like my student’s pets, some Timeline Projects, Maze, Role-Plays, Race Track, Music Band and I think the possibilities will be endless! I cant wait to know more!
