Description: F.L.O.Y.D. the Recycle Bot : For this year DooDad project, I made a robot named F.L.O.Y.D, which stands for future leader of yesterday‘s devices. He is created from old, obsolete devices that others would consider as trash, like VHS tape arms, clamp hands, cardboard, and a binocular head. His purpose is to pick up old technology he finds on the ground and recycle it so that it can be given new meaning. When doing this year‘s DooDad project, my thinking has changed about the connection between creating with unconventional art materials and devices. By utilizing old technologies, I was able to build something that can help the environment. Before this project, I didn’t realize how much old technology goes to waste, and now I’m able to give them new meaning.
