HAVE DONE AT LEAST 4 ESSENTIALS
BRIEF:
The aim is to create a transformable installation which is an abstract representation of various elements of Santas Grotto, remember to anchor your design with an architectural perspective.
You will be split into pairs. Each pair will design a specific element from Santa's Grotto. There will be two groups per category.
The two pairs will be assigned a space within the Robot Arm Cell where they will have a choice of actuators which they will attach to their installation with string to create movement. There will be several actuators options to choose from depending on your design. The actuator will be moved by a programmed robotic arm.
Aim to use as many of the workshops as possible in the lab to expand your knowledge and experience with the various tools and materials available to you.
The first thing to do is ensure ALL your essentials are completed so you have no limitations to your design as you will have full access to the lab.
