Q2. How did you know about the STEAM CUP Online Competition and what makes you participate in the event?
My teacher told me about the STEAM CUP Online Competition and she also told me about the prize. I was so excited. So, the excitement to win the prize makes me participate in this event.
Q3. Could you give us a brief explanation of your robot?
Sure. It's actually a locker but it's like a clown. So, I named him The Locker Clown. His job is to protect our things, money or any secret things. The component I used to do the robot is a CM-150 controller, a battery, a servo motor and two gear motors. We need to use the sensors to lock and unlock the locker. One of them functioned as the lock and another is used to control the door. I used the servo motor to protect the locker. We need to put our finger on IR center and IR right at the same time. That's the correct password. If we put the correct password means he will play a melody and open the door for us. We don't need to open and waste our time. After we put our things inside the locker we just need to put our finger on the IR center. He will play melody and close the door. We don't need to wait and close the door and also don't need to recheck if the door closed tightly or not. Others can't open it because it closed tightly. What if we put the wrong password. There's a hammer at the place we put the password. The hammer is controlled by the servo motor. Once we put the wrong password, the hammer will hit our hand and make an alert sound. So, we can catch the robber. He will also get hit by my Locker Clown. So, there's no way to escape. This is my robot. He will protect our things and at the same time he will punish the robbers.
