Title: ee undergrad senior design
Post by: narayangopal on January 28, 2009, 02:33:26 PM
Can someone help me with how I can turn the $50.00 robot into a senior design project? A senior design project requires more than just assembling parts to create a whole. Admin's tutorials are excellent in this site, however, my senior design would have to be more research oriented. Can I do something with this robot that nobody has really done it, or at least not heavily publicized? The bottom line is it has to be like a design project. Your kind help would be deeply appreciated.

Dear friends, if you have a fully functioning $50 robot that looks original ( not like you just assembled the professional parts made by a company), a broke student is willing to pay $200 for it. I wanted to build it from scratch, but don't have the time for it. I will be working on the programming aspect of the fuctional robot. Your help would be deeply appreciated! :(

BUSTED!

You don't want it to be heavily publicized because you don't want to be caught cheating? Well if you really are in college, you should know that you don't learn anything from buying premade things and telling people you made them, that is called plagiarism, and is frowned upon by most universities.

G'luck on your endeavors but I am sure nobody on this site, or many others will accept said offer you made

I think he wanted to buy the robot to use for research. Now he is asking for what he can research with it.

Ask a prof what to research?
