Sherry Lu: sl3592@drexel.edu

I am Sherry Lu a computer engineering student with background in robotics. I have build my own computer before and have fiddled with them my entire life. My favorite subjects in school have always been mathematics and sciences!

Yelnur Abilakim: ya379@drexel.edu

I'm Yelnur, I'm an international student from Kazakhstan. I'm an Electrical Engineering major here at Drexel and I'm planning to take advantage of the BS/MS program. I love playing sports, especially soccer, and I listening to music.
Shawn King: snk55@drexel.edu

I'm Shawn, from Bellmore, New York. I'm a Mechanical Engineering major at Drexel University. I enjoy movies and playing sports.
Ryan J Hadfield: rjh334@drexel.edu

I'm RJ Hadfield, born in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. I'm a Computer Engineering major at Drexel University and will soon be adding Philosophy as a second major. I'm keeping an open mind about my future after graduation, but have no idea where I'll end up. In high school I had lots of experience with robotics and circuit design, as well as basic mechanical design. I've played guitar for about 8 years, and look forward to getting more involved in university activities soon.

Week 10

Plans: Assemble audio, motor, and servos all to one bread board and arduino uno drill holes for audio to play through adjust latex sizing for alien add stopper to alien figure out winch system Results: Assembled all parts to one arduino uno, but had to scrap winch idea The alien will only pop up, but will not go back into the box again

Week 3

Plans: Changed alien launch mechanism to spring activation rather than a motor activation Start 3D print design by creating CAD of alien head and jaw mechanism Head of alien Jaw of alien Latex molding research and then bought the latex https://youtu.be/iFHYwuR7GXs Sound board research https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1CdC5gzTxY Created and imported audio file using audacity

Week 2

During the second week, we made more concrete decisions on the mechanisms of the animatronic and drew another sketch of the alien with more details. We also started to practice coding on the Arduino by learning how to turn a LED on and off. Sketch: Programming: Arduino Electrical board: Arduino Mechanisms: 90 degree turn, propping alien from horizontal position to vertical position Stepper motor: programmed to QUICKLY turn by 90 degrees Instead of using a piston which would be more complicated, we could set a stepper motor to a higher speed to get that quick jumpscare effect. Youtube video below is an example of a high speed stepper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rRS8VoC3UM Swaying motion (back and forth) Stepper motor: connect to wheel. Connect stiff rod to off-center position on wheel. Connect wheel to alien, similar to train wheel motion https://youtu.be/78Rl6BWoQp0?t=47 Spinning head 180 degrees both ways Stepper motor: loca...
