Robotic Arm


For this project, the class had to take anything that is recyclable and make something out of it that is wearable. The first couple of things that came to my mind were flashing gloves and glowing shoes. But as I pondered more and more I thought of a robot and how detailed a robots arm is. I did some research online on how I could make it and was unsuccessful because of the sleekness that robots these days have. I started to remember that I have an old Power Mac G4 that no one uses anymore because it is obsolete. So what i did was gut out the entire system and all its parts could be used as parts for the robot arm. I had some trouble disassembling the computer but in the end I was successful. There is two parts to the arm that are atattched by a cable. The arm is wearable and looks almost like a real robot arm.
