Team 1\u00a0\u00a0Clock<\/b><\/p>\n
Prescott, Bruce, and Jon<\/p>\n CLOCK<\/p>\n Team 1 has brought us a really amazing working clock! The wheels turn one forward and one reverse, spinning the reflectance sensors around the wheel indicating the minutes. Upon the hour mark the bot drives forward and advances the linear slide to indicate hours. Extra credit for the free linear rails made out of laser cut scrap and cellophane tape!<\/p>\n Team 6\u00a0 Simon<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0 SIMON<\/p>\n George, Kevin, and Rob created a wonderful designed bot. Maybe they have created a new game: Simon! When the bot plays out a tune with lights, you can use the laser cut puck to mark the tones on the whiteboard. The shield bot then drives forward and uses the sensors to see if you’ve marked correctly. You want to get more right answers than your opponent so the bot drives towards their goal! What is really amazing? The cost is free, for all the materials they prepared are waste in labs, so really environment friendly! And it completes with Braille so even the sight impaired could play it as well! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Runners up:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Team 2 RichBot\/ ShitBot<\/b><\/p>\n Luis, James and Chad<\/p>\n The Rich bot \/ Shit bot would sense your hand and completely randomly choose to deposit an amount of chicken poop or money. They hope to implement a risk dial, which when advanced would deposit more money per play, but also more poop per loss.<\/p>\n Team 3 Pew Pew<\/b><\/p>\n PEW PEW<\/p>\n Aly, Aaron, and Jose built Pew Pew, a modern music box. During the Friday night break they devised a 31 bit language of music. You draw out your tune on paper and insert into the machine. The wheels of the shield bot draw the paper in past the reflectance sensors and the music plays! Really cool!<\/span><\/p>\n Team 4 K-4<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Jac, Stewart and Max<\/p>\n K-4<\/p>\n Team four came very close to a desktop x,y plotter system. 8 lights would align the bot which would drive to whichever location required pen output and a servo would drop the pen. Sadly they found incompatibilities with the Arduino servo library and the Shieldbot and were unable to overcome these. Credit given for the Dr. Who theme including the awesome papercraft K-9 done in lasercut plastic! So come on guys, you can make it!<\/span><\/p>\n Team 5 BARMAN<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n BARMAN<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Hey! When you text a message to this bar bot, it will deliver a delicious beverage to Jerry, Jake, and Bowtie went for a bar bot that could deliver a delicious beverage via a text message using the Seeed GSM shield. In the end their Sim card crapped out and they had to switch to a simpler line follower implementation to make the deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n Team 7<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Shot.Bot<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 SHOT.BOT<\/p>\n Moheeb, Ben and Rob also went for a beverage deliver system! Our hackers do love create in life and are enjoying life in their own way \ud83d\ude42 Though more ambitious than Team 5, they didn’t finish full functionality in time. What they did create was a really gorgeous device that you can see the line following robot would take orders then drive the track to the dispenser where it would use a servo to actuate an amount of either of 3 beverages, before driving back to the patron. Amazing! Don\u2019t you think so? Once put into market, many retailers will be keen on this automatic beverage remixed machine!<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n Team 8 HACKPHX-PLOTTER<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n HACKPHX-PLOTTER<\/p>\n Brian, Matt, and Justin got very close to knocking off the Der Kritzler 2d drawing machine<\/span><\/a>. In only 12 hours they created a vertical x,y table with makerslide and had the ingenious idea of bolting the tires of the shield bot down such that when it was put in reverse, it lifted the pen off the drawing surface! They even worked with the designer to come up with a PC side user interface!<\/p>\n Team 9 EYE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 EYE<\/span><\/p>\n Tim, Karl, and Steven Came very close to winning the Jury prize for their very functional robot eye. The eye utilizes an ultrasonic sensor to trigger the wheels in a forward\/reverse configuration turning the eye to follow those who wander by. Creepy. <\/span><\/p>\n Team 10 MUSICBOX O’ DEATH<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n MUSICBOX\u2019O DEATH<\/span><\/p>\n Adam, Sheldon, Mike also had musical ambitions with their bot. Paper was to be driven across the reflectance sensors just like the other music box team. In the end they had to fall back on “Z-Plane Ghettoblaster” technology and the ghost of Jonathan Taylor Thomas to get something working by judging time. <\/span><\/p>\n Ahha! Everybody, it\u2019s high time that we should recover our secret ingredient in Hackathon! It\u2019s SHIELD BOT<\/a> from our Seeed Studio! This adorable shield has five reflectance sensors, two DC motors and a 3.7V lion battery. As you can see, bot enjoys diverse powerful role in hacker\u2019s creation of hackathon! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Shield Bot Above all are precise descriptions for our ten teams\u2019 splendid fruits. They make us believe it is not impossible to conduct DIY time machine, a new style of beverage dispenser, immediate 2D drawing machine, however, we probably never thought of before. Not only you can see even scraps are well gathered together then amazingly transformed into a fantastic functional product but they really make it! We have witness a creative feat, thanks to hackathon and ingenious hackers from ten teams!
