Initial Ideation:

Slot Machine Toy:

A fun toy for a fun child. Bet quarters, win or lose, it’s up to fate. Let children experience the rush and risk of gambling.  Fisher Price style.

Need to make quarter slot and payout. There will be lots of pretty lights around it. Could also add speakers and have sound effects.

not sure how to tell what the slot stops at using continuous servo. Maybe a light sensor could be used to see what color the slot has stopped on.

Drawing machine:

Pretty simple 2 servos act as joints. 4 buttons control the joint, turn left or right.

Should remain within bounds of paper. Kind of like an etch a sketch

Mastermind (board game):

I used to play this game with a friend. The goal is to guess the code set within 10 attempts.

I use LED’s to act as the pegs, and I’ll use puppet hands to show how many you guessed correctly. I included a link to the rules if anyone is interested in the how to play.

way to scroll between previous guesses, and how many you got correct. counter showing how many times you have guessed.
