This is my entry into the microrobot challenge, as well as a fun holiday project.
The Song:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Robot (robot)
Had a very shiny nose (like titanium)
And if you ever saw it (saw it)
You would even say it glows (like an LED)
And all of the other robots (robots)
Used to laugh and call him names (like Wall-e)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
Join in any robot games(like tic tac toe)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say, (ho ho ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the robots loved him,(loved him)
And they shouted out with glee, (yippie)
Rudolph the red-nose Robot (reindeer)
You'll go down in history (like Fritsl)
The Basic Function:
Ruldolph is a photovore that used light dependent resistiors to navigate. Once he finds a point of sufficient brightness (the "spotlight"), he will begin singing the song seen above, with his nose blinking along.
More coming soon:
video, pics, etc.
go to the spotlight, sing his theme song, make his nose glow, be small
