Exciting News: Rhode Street School's Robot has a girlfriend.

She was created by a group of girl students who thought our robot might be lonely. Keep coming back to learn more about her as information and photos are posted by the Robot Girls Team.

Creating a Garden for Our Robot

Today the Robot Boys created a garden for our robot to stand in.

We planted native grasses that over time will grow to cover the feet of the robot.

We laid down weed mat first and framed it so the mower can mow around the garden easily.

Mr Kerr gave us great instructions on how to plant the grasses and we didn't forget to water them.

Giving our Robot a Heart

Mr Kerr ade a hole in the chest plate to put a solar powered garden light which would represent our robot's heart.

Making our Robot Lighter

We relaced the centre screen with a flat screen because it was much lighter.

Can you see the ears? They were made from the internal fans of our old server.

Key boards were added to the arms for another dimension.

The eyes and teeth glow at night because they are solar powered LED lights.

Riot keeps his head down while Mr Ngatai tec screws the left hand of the robot. Drilling into steel is hard work.

Adding Arms

We decided to use the remaining old screens for our robots arms. After taking out the insides and putting the boxes back together, Mr Ngatai secured the arms with hands made from old Furnware chair backs.
