Build the static figures

  • Lotte and the other characters are static figures. Lotte’s arm can be moved on an axis.
  • The dog is a DC motor-driven robot powered directly by a battery holder, rolling on gears instead of legs.
  • When switched on, it goes to Lotte, is switched off, turned around and switched on again.

How to build

Lottie

  • Lotte is standing still, her arm connected to a DC motor, her neck connected to a servo motor. Her other hand is connected to a push button.
  • When the push button is pressed, she moves her hand up and down four times and then turns her head.
  • The dog is a 5-button robot – 4 buttons for directions, 1 for tail wagging. The tail is attached to the dog’s body by a servo motor.

How to build

Franz

  • Lotte is built in the same way as P2. Instead of a push button, an IR photoreflector is attached to her hand.
  • Franz is a robot controlled by accelerometer.
  • Franz rolls back and forth to Lotte’s.
  • The IR photoreflector on Lotte’s hand detects Franz, then raises and lowers her hand.
  • When Franz reaches her for the 5th time, Lotte does not raise her hand but turns her head away.
  • The dog is a tracking robot. It is equipped with 1 sound sensor, 2 IR photoreflectors and 1 servo motor.
  • It will start on paw, tracking its way to Lotte’s. When its IR photoreflector detects Lotte, it stops, wags its tail, then continues tracking and moves away from Lotte.
