serious fun...

Pretty serious not so fun. Well in the beginning it was fun...
We got together what we thought would be one of the best teams in the class and we definitely made sure it looked like it was. We decided to go against the grain and do something vastly different from everyone else, build an emotion robot. We put many ideas into it but the flamethrower had to be scrapped for O.S.H reasons. Finally we came up with a robot design in the shape of a bunny that would move and respond to human interaction via webcam. Although James had some different ideas and therefore our design was changed again. So now we had a hybrid bunny/robot that looked like a computer screen with ears...
We have now just found out that our main motor to tilt the head (computer screen) is not strong enough and the one used to swivel it works but is jerky.

We now have till this Friday to complete it and its looking a lil harder now.

Also just now we have decided to put the tilt idea on hold and try get all the other features working by Friday.
