Our group was stuck on several parts of the Automated Sand Filtering Machine for a week and decided to meet Dr Ho for his advice and opinions. We explained our drawings and workings to Dr Ho, who initially suggested an improvised Archimedes screw. However, we realized that it was hard to improvise from there. We started to look at alternative ideas.
We proposed another project (a self-sorting recycling bin) but it was turned down by Dr Ho due to inaccuracy in similar past projects using AI. Eventually, we decided to give up on sand filtering due to low efficiency and it was hard to come up with an effective way to collect and filter the rubbish from the beach.
A robot 2D sketcher was brought up which we extended to robot Chinese calligraphy writing, and henna writing. After giving it much thought, we decided on a project about 3D colouring and an improvised way different from the current market, using art markers. This machine would rotate the 3D Prints from the side, while a marker would start colouring it from the top. Feeling confident with our idea, we decided to meet up with Hanyang for further discussion.
