In the two weeks that they were here, Arlo and Matthew designed and built a working drawing robot. They went through many different iterations and prototypes until arriving on a final product; the technology that the team used included four motors and an Arduino micro controller.

Our world is mountainous with difficult terrain to traverse. The ‘Segmented Mountain Climber’ is able to deftly maneuver up and down the steep mountainsides, and over their sharp peaks. Its Whegs, half wheel half legs, are able to climb over both small rocks and large boulders. It can also quickly reverse, turn and is able to continue movement even if flipped upside down.

Our project is called the Desert Snake. It is used to transport goods and messages from colonies of humans to colonies of humans across the dangerous desert. Without the desert snakes all humans would be lonely and would be unable to communicate with each other. That would be a very sad world!
