Creating music with NXT robots
By: Ula, and Sophie Mr.Burnett
Investigation
Objective Objective is to create music using NXT robots. Design brief The music we chose to use has to be recognisable. We can chose to use any musical instrument we want, drums, xylophone, trumpet, guitar, etc. We can also chose for the robot to play music using the big block to create music. Lastly we also have to make the robot move, and/or use his sensors. Design specification: we need our robot to be:
● ● ● ● ●
durable working moving play/create recognisable music simple to operate
Tests Function - play the chosen song 3 times non stop, if it works well it will play the music without any complications. Play/create recognisable music - we can ask 5 people to listen to our robot and see if they recognise
