Contributions
Helped model the general design of the robot with initial sketches and wrote Arduino code for the robot to function.
Requirement: The robot must provide an instruction to the user to perform an action on a sensor in a given time frame. Must also have an internalized point keeping system on the number of completed actions. The robot would dance if the user achieved a point threshold.
Result: The robot was able to keep track of number of points and the sensors worked as expected.

Risks & Limitations
- • There is lag in the log when a sensor gets triggered
- • Sometimes the Arduino Code doesn't work at intended. An example being the servo motors not turning when instructed.
Lessons & Next Steps
- • Would like to use more self made parts
- • Stronger motor used
- • Would like to move the housing of the components inside chassis instead outside
