Week2 Narrative
Hi Everyone. Our assignment this week was to build a bristlebot. A bristlebot a toy made from a battery powered tooth brush. we are four of use working on this project but right now we still work independentlly. meeting in school after class and using canvas to exchange ideas and see each other's progress. what i needed for this project was a baterry powered toothbrus which i got from the class lab. innitially i seperated the brush part of the tooth brush from the battery section. Placed the batery on the top of the brush, powered it on but then it will just fall over because the material is slipery. I then decided to look for some thing that can hold the brush and the battery together so i got vecro from home depot. it works well holding it together ( as seen in the uploaded picture) but the bristlebot still falls over when i poer it on and let it on the floor for a while. this is because the battery is not properlly centralized on the top of the brush. I am still trying to get a proper position that will stay on and not fall from time to time. since this is a toy for pre schools, i am still thinking of some good stickers that i will have to use to cover the britlebot so it looks attractive for them

Week3 Narrative
This week was a continuation of bristlebot project. I work more on Making the bristlebot move on a straight line by measuring the brush part and placing the baterry compartment so it tilt forward a little. I also participated on seminar presentation on Thursday
