Survey Results and Mr. Domino

The survey is now closed! The results showed the combination lock opener as the clear winner, with the recent domino laying robot follow. However, it has come to my attention that there was a miscommunication  -  many thought that the combination lock opener would 'hack' a lock or break into it. On the contrary, the idea I had was for the user to enter their combination in numerically, set the locker to 0, enter the size of the combination (35, 40, 45, or even 50) and only then let the robot open the lock. It's kind of boring put that way.

So, instead of listening to the people I'm going to make a domino laying robot. It will hold a clip of dominoes and drive forward while laying the track of dominoes, and occasionally need a refill. I've started prototyping with LEGO Technic parts simply because they are easy to work with. I have also purchased some small servo motors to start learning the coding and wiring for them (which is pretty simple). More on that will come in a subsequent blog post.

Over the next 2-3 weeks I will be working on building the robot!
