Making it your own

This is the part I love, and I hope you do too. This robot is just the beginning of the fun. It is now time for you to take this framework of the robot build and sample code and make it unique to your talents and imagination.

Here are a few ideas to consider applying to this robot:

  • Add sensors to trigger autonomous robot decisions. For example, could you add a color sensor so that, as the claw moves, it is waiting to detect a color to stop and pick up the object and move to another location?
  • Could you program the arm to move without human interaction?
  • Instead of using the buttons on Intelligent Hub to open and close the claw, could you use the Force Sensor instead?
  • How could you modify the claw to grab different objects and sizes?
  • Add lights from the Light-Emitting Diode (LED) matrix on Intelligent Hub to provide insights or cool new looks as the robot operates.
  • Add sound effects to make it sound like an industrial robot.
