Problem #1

The design I was working with, LEGO Mindstorms did not resemble the robot in The Wild Robot

Problem #2

The design I was working with, LEGO Mindstorms also did not move the way I had planned it to.

New Thesis Statement

My idea is to replicate and build a model of The Nest, (the home where the animals and Roz stay in for most of the winter) complete with surrounding trees and LED lights to replicate the glow of a fire. It brings to life the novel’s themes of survival, adaptation, and connection by combining technology and storytelling to recreate the warmth and protection of the nest during the harsh winter months.

New Precedent

The Nest From the Wild Robot

3D Print Design of The Nest

All Parts Printed and Added Roz's arms on! (moving)

After painting the base white to resemble snow, I added the nest and the trees that had arrived in the mail.

Label for The Nest

LED Lights in The Nest

To recreate the glow of the fire inside the nest, I soldered red LED lights and glued them to the inside of the nest!

Final Touches and Adding Everything Together

1. Added a few woodchips onto The Nest for texture

1. Added the label for the nest

1. Added the animals in the book that take shelter in the nest for the winter
