Mrs. Cochlin's Class
December
Mrs. Cochlin's class rose to the challenge of creating a robot for the year 3018. The first activity our class rose to for the Beakerhead challenge was to solve some peculiar questions. For example, when we got ready on a bike we solved the problem with a touch of a button and a box of clothes that would be put on you with electronic arms. When we weighed a cloud we sucked up the cloud in a tube and weighed the water. When we were stuck in traffic we went into aerodynamic airplane mode.
Then, as a class, we came up with ideas about what the future of robots might be like with ideas like: different planets of robots, aerodynamic robots, supersonic robots, yourself as a robot, homework helper robots, battle royal robots, and many others.
Next, we voted and designed the most popular choice. We drew our ideas in our art journal and combined our ideas to design a robot to help the disabled. Features of the robot included lazers, spikes, a duster, a usb drive, a voltaic cell, a jetpack, cat ears, LED lights, joints for the arms, extendable arms, and a remote control.
It took us four days to complete the robot in groups of four. We added a box to make it stable. And we used lots of tape to hold things in place, balance it, and make it look like it was made of tape.
It was a great project that every member of the class participated in.
