Car and spider ideas :

3rd week: 
We made a small car using cardborad. The car will make noise when it collides with a wall, and it is going to light the car headlights when the sensor catch the noise. 

 
4th week: 
During this class we wanted to upgrade our car by implementing more inputs and outputs. We wanted to create a little game on the car with three obstacles. When a minigame is done, a light is lit. For the first one, we kept the noise sensor that turn on le led of the car when we make a certain amount of noise. Then we wanted to create a labyrinth at the back of the car, by using alluminium and retracing the fire design of the car. The last step was to find a way to open the hood of a car. When the three lights are lit, the player won!

But we needed to make the car move, and focusing on the engine would consume too much time. Being Arduino beginners, we chose to invest this time in training and ensuring good inputs and outputs as required in the end. We explored new ideas, including a giant spider, but it didn't become our final project. The idea was to preserve our basic challenges for the car, such as the ultimate goal of illuminating the spider's two eyes. However, we abandoned this idea because we also desired movement, and the spider's intricate form seemed too complex for our current skill level.
