Project 2 (Chosen Scenario)

My chosen scenario: Scenario 5

There is a long line of GREEN boxes, as if on a conveyor belt. (You don’t have to model the conveyor belt – just pretend it’s there.) The robot lifts the box at the head of the queue and stacks it in a pile at its side.Once the robot has finished stacking a box, the rest of the boxes move forward one place, and the process is repeated.The robot lifts a box, turns to place it on the stack – but the box is stuck! The robot can’t drop the box! Animate the reaction of the robot, and how it deals with this sudden turn of events.

1. Character

Give a name to your robot.

Imagine that while it is doing its mechanical work, the robot is actually thinking to itself. Write a brief paragraph of what the robot might be thinking – write the thoughts from the robot’s point of view, ie. imagine it is speaking the thoughts out loud, if it could.

The thoughts must be relevant to the scenario that you choose.

Note: these should be the robot’s thoughts before the inciting incident – not while it is reacting to the inciting incident.

Robot's name : Henry

As you all know, humans call me 'machine' but hey, I have a name ok ! You can call me Henry, sounds better than that disgusting 'machine' as my name. I named it after my master's hairy little pet, a dog? What is a dog ? Well, the hairy little thing is cute and its name is quite cool. HENRY... And so, that how the 'Henry' name came about.

And so, this is my life. Trying to make my master's work easier. What a 'wonderful' life I'm having. Stacking boxes all day long. How I wish I have a friend to talk to. Don't ask me to talk to that Henry dog,he doesn't even understand my language. Useless human slave ! Wait, I'm a slave too. Gosh !

I need a friend ! A friend who can joke and play with me. Who wants to be my friend ? No one, I guess. I'm just a machine that was invented to make human's life much more easier. That's unfair for me. I have feelings too even though I'm made out of metals and have no heart. Maybe the boxes can be my friends but they are just boxes. They can do nothing just waiting for me to move them here and there. Such a waste of my time! I hope you can hear me out boxes, I'm lonely now. Boxes ?? Sigh..
