Color +Positive Black - Ground The colored wire of the LED indicates the color of its light! Tri-Color LED It is a red-green-blue (RGB) light source which can produce many light-based colors. Red RRed Green GGreen Blue BBlue Black -Ground Outputs - Motion Name and Image What does it do? Plug it in Icon Servo It is a limited range motor with controls for specific angular positions. Yellow SSignal Red +Positive Black -Ground Motor It is an electric motor with speed control that can rotate in either direction indefinitely. Yellow +and - Since both wires are the same color, the motor can be plugged in two ways. Switching them just changes which direction is “forward”. Vibration Motor It is a small motor that causes a shaking motion where you can control the intensity of shaking. Yellow +and - Since both wires are the same color, the vibration motor can be plugged in two ways. Switching them just changes which direction the weight spins.

Yellow SSignal Red +Positive Black -Ground Light Sensor It is a sensor that detects how bright the ambient light is. Yellow SSignal Red +Positive Black -Ground Temperature Sensor It is a sensor that detects the temperature. Yellow SSignal Red +Positive Black -Ground Potentiometer It is a sensor that detects how it has been rotated. Yellow SSignal Red +Positive Black -Ground Notes: Version 1.1 – March 2012

- 10. IMAG DESIGN BRAINSTORM What do you want your robot to look like? What do you want your robot to be able to do? Where did you find your idea for your robot? I want my robot to be fun and creative. I hope for it to look like a flamingo that is pink with feathers and a cute face. I want my flamingo to flap its wings up and down, probably 3 or 4 times. Also, it time allows it, I would like to add some more scenery that might possibly move as well-like a tree or some water. I came up with my flamingo idea on my own. I was thinking about fun characters that I could produce with alliteration and also incorporate it with the body of the animal. The result: a fuchsia flamingo that flaps!
- 11. OTHER QUESTIONS YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOUR PARTNER ABOUT THEIR ROBOT DESIGN
- 12. IMPR WHAT WORKS? WHAT DOESN’T WORK? WHAT COULD WORK BETTER? Football for a body Lemon as a head Servos for the wing movement Not having an anchor Letting the hummingbird hang from back Heavy cardboard wings Feathers on the neck Making sure the robot is equally balanced Think before you cut Slow down
- 14. PL DESIGN MATERIALS: WHAT MATERIALS WILL YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR ROBOT? - Football - Two tubes for legs - Feathers - Pink material - Two servos - Cardboard for wings - Foam paper sheets - 360 motor for waves - Popsicle sticks - Hot glue/gun

Arts and Bots Project Development Worksheet Project Title: Alliteration Bot Project Leader/Liaison: Participating Teachers: The Purpose and Main Features of the Project Preparing the launch Curricular objectives and scope of the project Learning activities Learning outcomes and assessment Resources and support Project Showcase Harold Blanco Students will learn alliteration and apply it to a fun, creative project involving a building a robot that works off of their command. In preparing for this task, I did a lot of research and brainstormed for ideas. I liked the idea of creating something fun and interesting, and a flamingo bot was the way to go. I did a little research and gathered my materials before even starting. Students will no doubt remember what and how to use alliteration after spending several days working toward creating a “dog that digs” or a “colorful cow”. This project is meant to be fun and to break the mold of the generalized lecture classroom. This is not only an English lesson. I hope for this project to be one that challenges them to break out of their comfort zone and word towards being confident in their abilities. Of course, I want t them to learn alliteration, but I hope they gain a lot more than just that from this experience. I will look at the robots and assess them based on their creativity and knowledge of alliteration, and also their effort that was put forth in creating this. The grade will not be based on the look of their robot, but more so on their understanding of the topic and personal growth. Arts and Bots, Carnegie Mellon, CI350 at Marshall University
- 17. ARTS and BOTS Interview Questions To identify the "story" behind each robot, try to cover the following points, and develop the ones that sound more interesting for each specific interviewee. Of course, if anything else comes up in the conversation that is interesting and not part of these points - dig deeper. Tell me about how your robot works – what electronic parts did you use and what do they do? Identify decisions made (materials, technology, programming, story) What did you enjoy the most about this process, what was the most rewarding part of the experience? Why? How so? What was the most challenging part of this assignment for you? Why? How did you overcome / resolve it? What did you learn from this project (about robotics and the curricular topic)? Show / describe the robot doing its thing (+ the assignment if relevant)
