Andrew Chui, Roger Yee: Cleaning Robot

Claim: For our senior project we will design and produce two robots whose purpose is to clean an assortment of classrooms and store recyclable objects for later recycling .

Reason: Since both Roger and I share mechanical engineering as our major this project will develop fundamental skills for our later careers in the engineering field. Also with producing these robots we may help our school Middle College High School from being blamed for the trash and messy state of the campus which we learn on. Also the robots may harbor cameras which will add another set of eyes to catch any graffiti or trash causing culprit.

Evidence: At the end of the year we will hold a presentation of our robot's ability to collect and clean an assortment of college classrooms. We will also provide prototypes of the actual robot to show our process of building the actual robots. There may also be a video of our progress throughout the project.

Value: The process of building the robots and our end product, the robots themselves, will provide us with an insight to the field which we both would enjoy to work in. These two robots will also stay at the Contra Costa College campus under the care of Middle College High School cleaning classrooms and possibly extending the range of support to different activities. Our robots will increase the efficiency of cleaning the classrooms and provide a new insight to the new generation. We hope that our innovation will inspire younger Middle College High School students into the field of Engineering.
