Building a self contained device for project

In summary, the task at hand is to create a self-contained device that can pass through a standard doorway, starting .5 metres away from an egg cup with an egg in it. The egg must then pass through a cart .5 metres away and reach a target on the other side of the cart, without any assistance or interference from us. The person is currently lacking ideas and suggests drawing a picture to brainstorm.

Homework Statement


We must build a self contained device which can pass through a standard doorway. It will start .5 metres from the egg cup with an egg in it this egg cup is then .5 metres from a cart that the egg has to pass through and continue going to a target on the other side of the cart. We can not touch the car after it has started moving and we can not assist it in anyway through the cart or picking up the egg.

I have no ideas so far and do not know where to start.

1. What is a self contained device?

A self contained device is a device that is designed to function independently without the need for external components or support. It is able to perform its intended task without relying on any additional equipment or resources.

2. Why is it important to build a self contained device for a project?

Building a self contained device for a project is important because it allows for greater portability, flexibility, and reliability. It also reduces the risk of technical issues or failures, as the device is designed to function on its own without relying on external factors.

3. What are the key components of a self contained device?

The key components of a self contained device may vary depending on the specific project, but generally include a power source, processing unit, memory, input/output devices, and any necessary sensors or actuators.

4. How can I ensure the self contained device is safe to use?

To ensure the safety of a self contained device, it is important to follow proper design and engineering principles, conduct thorough testing and quality control, and adhere to relevant safety regulations and standards.

5. Can a self contained device be upgraded or modified?

Yes, a self contained device can be upgraded or modified, but it may require careful planning and consideration to ensure compatibility and functionality. It is important to consult with the device's designer or manufacturer before making any modifications to avoid potential issues.
