Soooo.....
It all started for me reading about this competition on my mom s phone in her google news.....I somehow persuaded my parents to get me an amazon echo dot because i thought it would be a good opportunity to show off my Lego skills. :D
Through the ongoing weeks of school, i read the instructions and came to know that this wouldn't be an easy job....I was a rookie at coding having done only one year of arduino which actually turned out to be fun...Then we were introduced to html in school...i started liking all forms of coding..... so i became serious on this and actually started working on it deliberately...little did i know that as always i would be short on time due to the other things which i do...when i actually worked on this....i faced several problems...my laptop which was running a pentium n3540 crashed several times and couldn 't handle the load and my mom s laptop was always busy..also i had a lot of compilation errors as well...finally i persuaded my mom to lend me one of her old office pcs...
turned out that the pc also had a pentium but as it was a desktop processor it handled it for the most part...the pc actually became quite trustworthy and hence i gave it the title of big "ol' pentiummmy trusty"... here i am in the last few days and submitting my initial project and am going to follow up with another one...even in the last few days i have enjoyed a lot and learnt a lot of things....one being that one of my errors was just replacing a lower case 'r' with an upper case one... :D
so finally this is it...some pics and videos of the things which were used and the working demonstrations.....
click the below link to see the video demonstration of this project.
