  • When Touch sensor is pressed, she reaches her arm towards the table, when she lift her hand, the green LED built into the table lights up.
  • The kites on both side of the table are connected to another motherboard. They are built on a gear and rack structure.
  • 2 Touch sensors are connected to the robot.

How to build

The robots

  • We build the girl next to the table, mount a servo motor in her shoulder and connect a sound sensor to her.
  • She reacher her arm toward the table, which is detected by the IR Photoreflector in the table.
  • The green LED in the table will light up and the kites will start moving.
  • The kites always start from the middle, and when she lifts her hand over the table, the kites randomly slide either left or right on the rack, and then after a few seconds they move back to the middle.
  • When the kites are back in the middle, the girl pulls her arm back.
