📄️ DC01. Estimate a Building
For this design challenge, you are being asked to estimate the size of a building using similar methods to those we did in class. This is an exercise in estimation, so you are not required to be "correct" in your measurement, but you should be rigorously estimating error. Do not put yourself in danger to measure anything, i.e., don't climb anything or hang out of a window, etc.
📄️ Sketchbook
You will be required to maintain a physical, hand-written sketchbook. Your sketchbook should be a record of your creative engagement with the course. Everything should be recorded in it: daily drawings, in-class design challenge, module design challenges, and project sketches and documentation.
📄️ DC02. Design a Pick-and-Place Robot
Building on the design challenge we did in class, design a looks-like/works-like prototype of a Pick-and-Place robot. A pick-and-place robot does what it sounds like: it picks something up, and it places it elsewhere.
📄️ Design an Ultrasonic Sonar Tower
Using long-distance range sensors like an ultrasonic, build a sonar tower (which is like a radar tower, but with sound).
