Cheesoid
"Why Cheesoid exist?"
An unhappy robot designed to have a sense of smell but can only distinguish between its two operating modes: "CHEESE" and "PETROL".
It has (should have) speech limited to a number of pre-recorded phrases: -
- "Cheese"
- "Petril"
- "Help! Cannot see! Can only smell!"
- "Why Cheesoid exist?"
- etc.
Progress: -
I have a cardboard cylinder (slightly smaller than the original) and a silver "nose hose". The nose hose will contain a bent rod that will be rotated by a servo or stepper motor. The robot can run on top of a R/C car to begin with. The donated R/C car at the space has no battery and I couldn't get the motor to run!
I plan to cover Cheesoid in silver-grey paper.
The nose hose needs to be mounted in a shallow box which in turn is fixed to the body.
The "CHEESE" or "PETROL" mode switch must be authentic!
Voice capability will just be some sort of recordable button box.
Object detector would be awesome.
The ability to actually smell cheese or petrol would be crazy-awesome!
Need: R/C vehicle
