Q1: List the similarities between the information you gathered with that of your friends?

ANS:

• The musical instrument that we chose was mnaracas.But all of us didn't find any existing robot playing that instrument. So we all presented the robot playing other musical instruments and tried to extract the ideas from these musical instruments and apply it to our robot which is playing maracas.
• There were lots of similarities between our teammates in gathering information. We all showed the robots which were connected to coding in one way or the other.
• Arduino was one main component which were common in all the robots shown by our teammates.
• The drum stick robot shown by Prasad P Kalgutkar and me were similar in function the only think it that it was a big prototype. it also used movement of arms to beat the drum as the same in solenoid drum stick robot.
• Coding was essential for all the robots that were presented.

Q2: What new information you learn from this team discussion?

ANS:

• I got to know certain new things like the robot that pratham presented could make its own tunes according to the song playing it was quite interesting.
• Prasad showcased the paper piano robot which worked by just touching the paper.(touch sensitive)
• At last we discussed how to convert these robots into robot playing maracas. We got some new ideas like we can use robotic arms which hold maracas and movement of robot arms can be done coding in arduino. By some sequential movement of the robotic arm we can play maracas. We can also use vibrators in robot arms to make some tunes. These were all the new ideas we discussed at last of our presentation.

Task 03-Reflection: Each student shall answer the two questions

Student 02: Answer the two questions

Q1: List the similarities between the information you gathered with that of your friends?

ANSWER: We all were supposed to gather information about the robot which can play maracas. But we couldn’t find any such robots,so we all gathered information about the robots which can be modified to play maracas. The main similarity between our robots was the mechanism and the working. All of our robots were mainly dealing with the movement of the arm and play the instrument

Arduino uno was one of the most used components in all our robots.

Q2: What new information you learn from this team discussion?

ANSWER: We got to know the different ideas to modify the existing robot to play maracas.

Q1: List the similarities between the information you gathered with that of your friends? ;- the information gathered by me and my friend is some what similar . In both cases arduino UNO was used to make the drum play. The electric components used by me and my friends are all most similar .

Q2: What new information you learn from this team discussion? ; My team was allotted to do a maracas robot . but we faced problems to search in internet. in this team discussion we learnt how to construct a robot so that it can hold a maracas and how a robot can play it . the suggestion given by my friend of using the vibrator to play the maracus helped me to create a new idea in my mind

Q1: List the similarities between the information you gathered with that of your friends?

● I think my teammate Pratham and I gathered the similar information

● According to me Guitar Robot & Robot violinist are of similar function they both uses motors to play instrument

● And with other teammates I found that mechanical & electrical components used are similar.

● I think most of all our robots include programming and Arudino.

Q2: What new information you learn from this team discussion?

● I get to know information collected by my teammates.

● And we discussed our problem statement on how to modify these robots and my teammates shared their ideas and me discussed my idea.

● I get to know what are basic steps to build robots, What are components we need to use.
