When the button is pressed on my robot an adorable little face pops up on the LCD. Then my robot will play “Happy Birthday”, blow streamers out the top, do a spin, and the little face comes back. I think my robot will make people smile because it’s cute, sings, and has a surprise. My robot is for anybody who has a birthday, so everybody. I programmed the Arduino Uno to play “Happy Birthday” on a piezo speaker. I also added a start button and a LCD face. To make the frame I used foam board and glued on old motors and wheels. I cut the top of a party hat open, added streamers, and mounted a propeller and motor inside to blow the streamers. I can't wait to use my robot for my brother's birthday; I know it’ll make him smile!
