Picture and Description
This robot is a question asking machine that features: a Coin slot, Swinging doors, Conveyor belts, a T and F created in Lego with touch sensors, and a thrower arm. It is first activated by sticking a penny in the coin slot (there�s an arrow made by bulk bricks pointing to it). The penny is easily detected by a light sensor built into slot you stick it in. Once the penny is in the slot, conveyor belt number one is run which has a piece of paper on it. The paper hits a swinging door and falls onto the table. After reading the question written on the piece of paper, you must decide whether to press the true or false button. If you are correct, you are rewarded with a Lego brick that is on conveyor belt number 2 (it falls out of another swinging door). If you are wrong�the Punishing Arm is brought to bear! It will launch a projectile at you. The Mr. Question is just decoration made out of DDK parts. Actually, the conveyor belts and swinging doors could work better. Usually, whatever is on the conveyor will just hit the roof and not be able to come out or get stuck on the swinging door. That could use some improvement.
