Building Buddy the Friend!

Team: Sharan, Ding, Divya, Cat

Intro

I went into this project incredibly worried about having the technical ability to pull off a project like this, or at best, be a detriment to my team. Turns out, I became comfortable with what I was doing and started to see myself getting creative with it instead of just trying to get the dang thing to work (which happened with a few past labs).


Our Initial Idea

My team did not consist of anyone with a background in physical computation (although I have some experience with back end coding), so we wanted to stick with something simpler that we could either build upon or pull back on depending on our progress throughout the week.

We settled with building a robot with a beating heart, body movement, lights, and musical components.
