2.00B - Bumper Clouds

Team Lobster (Spring 2018)

In this course, I worked on a team of 5 to create an original toy! We prototyped, play-tested with kids at the Boston Children's Museum and redesigned the product for a final presentation at the end of the semester. Our toy was Bumper Clouds, a colorful and energetic re-imagining of tag!

​

We focused on the initial idea generation and prototyping together, but divided the work up as the course progressed. I  focused on the electronics of our toy. I programmed the Arduinos, accelerometers and LED strips on our 3 clouds to respond to impacts with each other and light up a section of the LEDs with a color of a rainbow. Light up the whole rainbow, and you're out!
