From building houses to running away from creepers, it is undeniable that Minecraft has had a huge impact on our childhood. Growing up, we played Minecraft to build houses, tame dogs, to run away from creepers, we can say that our childhood is definitely incomplete without Minecraft. Due to Minecraft, we have enabled our creativity to run wild and at the same time connect with our friends or actually gain more friends due to this game. In our Exit Product, we decided to reminisce about the past by bringing the main character of our childhood, Steve, to life.
Materials
Illustration boards, Green Cellophane paper, Barbecue sticks, Glue sticks, Construction papers, A4 Bond Papers, Glue, Glue gun, Ruler, Scissors, Cutter, Printer, 2 Servo Motors, 1 Piezo Buzzer, 1 Potentiometer, 1 Ultrasonic Sensor, 3 Yellow LEDs, 6 Green LEDs, 2 Red LEDs, Male Jumper wires, Female Jumper wires, 220 Ohm Resistors, 2 Breadboards, 2 Arduino Uno Microcontroller
Inspiration
Steve is the default character in Minecraft who is friendly but will attack when a mob or monster is near. Our robotics application in our project was inspired due to this so we decided to use servo motors for Steve to hold up a flower, but when someone or something goes near the ultrasonic sensor, his eyes will turn red and the hand that is holding the flower will go down while the other hand holding the sword will come up.
About the Makers
I am someone who is willing to learn new things but prefers building instead of coding. Designing with small details is important and I like spending my time with them which is why I am also good at making sure our project is clean.
Sean Hagonos is our "techniSEAN". He loves and his specialty is online games, robotics, and math. Kaye and I both depended on him with the robotics part in the making of our project as we knew it was his strong point that Kaye and I find difficult.
Kaye Paderanga is the leader of the group. She was able to give us understandable and clear instructions on what to do. She also cut and print parts of Steve's body in order for us to not have a hard time.
