The Dance Pad for Ants

Today Alysen, Erion, and I made the dance pad from the dance pad mania challenge from Design Squad.

The problem was we created it so small that it was basically a dance pad for ants. We decided to make that our prototype and then make a new one next Friday.

The next one will be a bit bigger and a lot stronger. Alysen was a lot of help and so was Erion with help duct tape and keep track of all the wires. It was a bit challenging to create, but in the end we were happy with what we made. We made it by taking one battery and running four wires to each end of the batteries. We attached two of those wires to a light and two to a buzzer. The light barely turned on but the buzzer worked fine. We the duct tapped everything together and then duct taped it to a small piece of cardboard.

The succeeding dance pad for ants

We have used a 5 volt AA battery and a buzzer. We also used a little light bulb and connected the buzzer to the battery. We put the battery in the battery holder and connected the battery holder's wires and connected it to the light bulb. We only made a prototype because it was really small and the light bulb light up a little bit. We figured out that the buzzer works if you connect it to the battery because I tried it out and it worked. We taped it to the cardboard with duct tape. If you want to see more inventions go to this website. Next week we will make it a little bigger and see if it works better if it doesn't we will make it a little more bigger and one more battery. We will need more voltage power to make the light bulb light up.
