Animatronics
Washington-specific modification
A semifinal round will not be held.
Theme update
The Animatronics theme was recently updated to be more open ended.
To address the annual design challenge, participants exhibit and demonstrate their knowledge of mechanical and control systems by creating an animatronic device with a specific purpose (i.e., communicate an idea, entertain, demonstrate a concept, etc.) that includes sound, lights, and an appropriate surrounding environment (a display).
Theme
Following the specified requirements, create an animatronic exhibit for a public library to excite young readers.
