My Idea

I designed a robot dog that can open its chest like a door.

Inside, there is a smaller dog hidden.

The robot can move and respond when a button is pressed.

Goal of the Project

My goal was to create a unique sci-fi robot design.

I wanted to combine engineering and creativity.

I also wanted to show how a robot could have hidden features.

FIRST DESIGN

1. I started by drawing my idea.
2. I planned where the motors and body parts would go.
3. This helped me understand how the robot would work.

Inspiration

I used this robot dog as inspiration.

I wanted my design to look realistic and mechanical.

Press the button to activate of the robot.

The robot will move and respond.

I created the main frame of the robot.

I have not laser cut it yet because I needed to finish the design first.

This is the improved design of the robot.

The frame is complete and ready for production.

I will laser cut and assemble it next.

I added more details to my design.

I included the name "Daisy" and improved the structure.

This made the robot look more complete.

؜

The final designs are ready.

I will laser cut the parts and assemble the robot.

I created a 3D model of my robot.

This helped me visualize the final result.

؜ Feedback and Improvements

I received feedback to improve my grammar and presentation.

I also made my design clearer and added more details.

I used this feedback to improve my project.

Exloring New Ideas

I experimented with my design in a digital environment.

This helped me explore how the robot could move and function.

I made significant changes to my project.

I decided to continue developing my idea in VR.

VR allows me to create a more interactive and dynamic experience

Conclusion

My project is a robot dog named Daisy with hidden features.

I developed my idea from sketches to a 3D model and VR.

In the future, I would like to build a real working prototype.

I made the building better added a bear and I added people.

The Daisy Clone

Summary

The book Watchdog by Will McIntosh is a book about two kids who are being targeted by people who build watchdogs. Also, a watchdog is a robotic anything that follows its owner, but they build their own watchdog. The main character, Vick, is brave, but also scared, and the metaphorical dragons he faces are the group of people who make watchdogs, but in the end, they succeed. Another character is Tara. She is really smart but autistic, so she faces many challenges. Three major events are when she builds the watchdog, staying alive, and getting rid of the watchdog company. In the end, Vick was trying to help his sister (Tara) as much as he could. What the book is teaching us is to never give up, and eventually, you will succeed.

Proposal

Dear Fessy Con Selection Committee,

The book Watchdog by Will McIntosh is the book that I read to use for my Fessy Con Project. My project is going to be a robotic dog from the book named Daisy. I am going to add characteristics so you can tell that it is Daisy. Something like you can press a button and a mini Daisy comes out, just like in the book mini Daisy comes out. Also, there will be this chip that will show because the back of the dog is broken, just like in the book. Daisy may be able to run, and the smaller one leaves the big one. I think it will be really cool to see a robot move.

I will work in the CCI, and I am going to use motors on the inside, and the outside made out of wood. I will use the laser cutter for the parts. I will first build the outside with the laser cutter then program the engines and attach them.I will need a wood motors programing app and hot glue.I will also need black and gray-ish silver paint. Probably body first day, program 2 days, and gluing and painting 2 days.I will do everything without distractions.

I think the whole idea is fully new and cool. I am making a robot with things that are hard to make. I think mine is unique because of how hard it is to do so. I think you should accept this idea.

Sincerely,

Vova :)

Thank you for listening.
