Evaluation of Our Whisker
Chinwei, Mauricio, and Nissa
In this iteration we decided to continue with the idea of our whisker being some sort of exploration bot. In order to give our whisker more life, we decided that it needed to be able to survive without being attached to a clamp, so we added a platform and wheels. While it's not quite working the way it would ideally, our camera whisker now has a motor and servo so it can move and turn. Only two of the original whiskers remain, and the interaction with them has changed since we have made our whisker mobile. These whiskers make the camera turn when they are hit.
Adding wheels to our whisker may not have been the most imaginative thing for us to do. We all thought it was the next logical step. However, adding the wheels has opened up a lot of possibilities, and now we have to figure how our whisker is going to interact with its environment as it moves about. Our whisker is a camera, so we would also like to make use of the fact that it seems to have a giant eye.
We spent a good amount of time working and reworking this iteration. Some photos of the process are below.
