Eating on the way & Water from the well
Programming level 1
Build a person eating bread with movable arm & Make a mechanical well or a shadoof to get water for the bread
P1
How to build
Eating
It can be achieved by movable parts without robotics OR
- Use the servomotor for programmable movement! Eating is putting the hand to the mouth and then getting another piece of food, starting from the robot’s activation until it is turned off.
Well
- Use axle or pulley – see the picture

Without robotics

Programming level 2
Build a person eating bread, until he runs out of food & Get the bucket of water out by programming a robot
P2
How to build
Eating
- Eating begins at the press of the Touch sensor
- Repeat the eating movement a number of times
Well
- The movement begins at the press of a button
- A shadoof can be made with a servomotor
OR
- A well can wind up the rope with a DC motor

Programming level 3
Build the person eating bread, use programming for believable movements & Make an automatic well
P3
How to build
Eating
- Wait with random values between the movements can make it look spontaneous. OR
- Sensors detect if the food is near its hand
Well
- The well winds up the rope with a DC motor until the bucket gets to the rim of the well
- Use IR Photoreflector to stop winding

Programming level 4
Build the person eating only when they have food & Build a sensor controlled well
P4
How to build
Eating
- Sensors can alert it if something is near the robot
- Light sensors are sensitive to light conditions (try to keep the same conditions)
- A hungry person eats faster
Well
Controls the servo motor with Touch or IR Photoreflector sensor to pull up the bucket until it gets to the rim of the well
