Our Brainstorm of Ideas:
- a robotic maid - touch computer screen - food appears out of nowhere - "talking" animal collars
 * **Evan:**

- homework machine - tapping alarm clock - sensor lights - tv that reads your mind and sets to wanted channels - customized breakfast in seconds
 * **Greg:**

- lunch tray with customized meal - automized dishwasher - desks/chairs that automatically fit to person in it - automatic bed maker - automatic dust magnet
 * **Kristy:**

Our Design Plans:
The Clockhand

Our Connections:
This alarm clock wakes you up with sound and touch. It can be programmed by voice command to poke, push, massage, roll, rock, or nudge you. It can also yell at you or wake you up nicely with voice or various sounds.

Mining the Process:
Please respond to the following with images, audio recordings, and/or text...

We only knew how to have the motor rotate, not lift. The moving mechanism kept breaking in half as the hand moved because it was weighted evenly.
 * ===**Technical Challenges:**===

We changed how we wanted the ClockHand to work. We built a steadier car- kept making a new frame. We didn't quit even though we wanted to quit. We borrowed and parts from other people/groups.
 * ===**Strategies we tried for working through these challenges:**===

Making a 3-wheeled car.
 * ===**Wrong Turns:**===

Is there a way to make a motor go up/down instead of rotating? Is it a separate kind of motor or the same motor, but programmed differently? Can you program 2 motors to do 2 different things?.
 * ===**New/Remaining Questions:**===


 * ===**Future Iterations**: If you had more time to work on your creation, what would you add? What would you change?===
