Hi, I am Andre Yee, and I love exploring robotics and block‑based coding. I enjoy solving problems by building creative projects that mix hardware and code. My projects range from designing robots using LEGO Technic parts to programming sensors with block‑based code!
I learnt how to use the LEGO technic parts to create different designs. Using the coding concept of conditionals (if-else), together with different sensors, I coded my designs to do certain actions only if a specific condition is met. Among many other projects, I created a bumper car that reverses if the touch sensor is activated when hitting the wall.
I enjoy going to the restaurant for sushi and decided to recreate an automated one. Using the Lego Technic parts and a colour sensor, I created a sushi belt that is activated to move only when it detects the colour green. This reduces unnecessary motion and saves energy.
Having played at the arcade frequently, I decided to use the concepts and design skills to create a gripper that is activated to open and close only when touch sensor is activated. I could then recreate the arcade game of picking up and releasing anything at home.
I created a motorized, sensor-activated windmill designed to reduce the need for manual operation. It automatically activates when a person approaches to begin work. The windmill will only stop when two specific colors are detected by the color sensor, a task controlled by the person in charge. This ensures that no one can tamper with the system.
