Journal
January 22, 2024 Our teacher told us about Energy Whiz and we watched videos about the competition. We talked about what type of project we would like to pick, and then we began viewing different types of robot and construction vehicle forms. We started drawing different types of robot and machine structures and settled on a design.
January 29, 2024 We got into groups and each started to complete the head and find the perfect cardboard box.
February 5, 2024 We mounted the battery housing and connected the wires and batteries.
February 12, 2024 We then made the arms and legs, finished our board, and attached the robot.
February 26, 2024 Today we got to make a video of all about our project.
March 4, 2024 Our teacher helped us build our web page and add all of the details.
Very cool solution to cleaning trash out of the water!
