ÉA paragraph on what was developed and how does the product benefit the society.


Anna built this robot out of lego bricks and relatively simple electrical parts.The product was made to benefit the soceity by helping law enforcements, security and counter-terrorism personell to safely detect chemicals from a distance.


ÉCritical Judgement – Looking at the product from different angles trying to find out flaws and benefits of the product.


The product looks really good but i dont think if there is a lot of chemical it would be able to detect it as it is really small and building a bigger one will require a lot of material in which a lot of money will be invested
