Final Project Ideas!!

SO the time has come to think about ideas for our final project! YAY!
1. SUPER interactive robot--I was thinking it would be cute if it responded in some way to everything around it. For example, if someone walked by, it would say 'Hi!' and if they responded, it would maybe do a little dance.

2. Airplane--A moderately sized airplane on a stick that responded to air. If you blew on it, the propeller would turn on, it would make whirring airplane noises, and fly around.

My Favorite Idea:
3. Racing cars!--I would make 2 simple carts and wireless controllers or joysticks, and people could race them on an obstacle course. Another girl in the class really liked this idea, and we started talking about different things we could do based off of racing cars. She suggested we try and duplicate a Mario Cart challenge: balloons (you know, each player has 3 balloons and loose a balloon each time they hit something or are hit by another car). It would be difficult to find a way to make the balloons disappear after the car was hit. Perhaps we could reel in the balloons and pop them on a little needle. Or release them so they float out of the way. If I do this idea, we'll have to experiment with different methods.

We'll see where these ideas takes me...
