Final project proposal

Final project progress: Rubik's cube controller

We are making a 3D Rubik's cube controller. We tested the magnet sensors and printed a bunch of cubes to test the design.

We also tested adding the buttons into the cube and did some soldering. It's coming together.

Time is tight right now because of a high-stakes final until Wednesday, April 29 at 3:30 PM. After that it's full focus and we push to finish.

Idea: Iron Man Helmet

The vision: A 3D printed iron man helmet with the automated opening mechanism. Maybe I'll add wireless headphones in. When Siri becomes smart, I'll have my own little JARVIS. Stretch goal: build the whole suit

Idea: Collective Art Sketcher

The vision: A mechanical pencil drawer that takes images of people, landscapes, buildings, archtectures, compresses them to a 2d image with different intensities, and then automatically draws it out with filled in intensities, almost like a color book for members of a community to fill in

I got the idea from a Lowell workshop where an alum taught complete beginners how to draw and also collaborated in their drawings. People have a sense of ownership when they contribute to an art project, especially when the art piece is about something that they care about. Hoping that this project makes the process easy
