LED Light Behavior


The lamp will have this behavior when it is first turned on, generating a pattern as if it was broken.


When a cellphone call is detected in the vicinity of the lamp it will turn on all of the LEDs as if it was feeding off of the radiation of the call.

blind vehicle



for this vehicle with no sensors, i thought that if the vehicle had a bumper made of bearings, no matter what it ran into, it would just slip off of it and turn in a different direction. but since i only had two bearings, i designed a hinged front bumper system where once it hit an object, it would pivot the hinge and slide the front portion of the vehicle to the left or right (there is a missing third bearing on the right side).
