In the studio Arbonauts 2, the group continued with the work done in Arbonauts 1. Emily, Jess, and Kate L. worked on a project called Roboflower. Roboflower is a robotic flower whose petals open and shut. The flower would communicate the conditions inside of the Arboretum to the general public by opening, closing and changing colors. In this studio the group took the original design of the flower and tweaked it and changed things so that the design would be cleaner and move more smoothly. They also worked with 3D modeling software to create a moveable flower head. Kate, Emily and Jess had a lot of technical and other difficulties, but in the end came out with a working model of the roboflower that was good looking and functioned well.
