Hi, I am Anton Seow, 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 ferris wheel that spins only if the touch sensor is activated.
Using an ultrasonic sensor, I recreated a sushi belt that moves only if the colour sensor detects a specific colour!
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.
In this project, I learned how to convert weight from pounds to kilograms by multiplying by a conversion factor. This is important because it teaches us how to change one unit of measurement to another so we can compare different types of data.
I designed a weather application. I developed a Python program that takes in the user's input for the current temperature in Celsius and classifies it into different categories: "Freezing," "Cold," "Moderate," and "Hot."
In this project, I used a for loop to count the number of vowels and consonants in a given string. The loop iterates through each character in the string, checking if it is a vowel or consonant, and updates the counts accordingly.
In this project, I built a countdown timer that uses a while loop to count down from a starting number until it reaches 1. This is important because it shows me how to repeat an action until a condition is met.
