Contribution:
I designed and built the lego structures for the cat and mouse robots based on images found on the internet. The animals were intentionally sized to scale. I went through many iterations to combine design and function. Originally, I was really excited about a novel idea of making touch-sensor whiskers out of plastic pieces cut using the laser printer and paper clips. However, the whiskers just kept falling off. In the end, I used fur to conceal the bumper-triggered touch sensors in the animal faces. I also designed and created this website!
About Me: I have a knack for making cats look like rabbits and squirrels look like cats.

About Me: I like photoshopping and cute fuzzy things. I am a fan of Tom and Jerry.
