My first Great Ball Contraption (GBC)

I tried to build my first LEGO GBC. GBC is a technically challenging engineering contraption that tumbles down balls in a loop With the help of my dad we built a GBC as per our own imagination. This GBC has Lego motors linked to chain to gears that conveys balls via a escalator conveyor to the top to tumble down via two slopes

Rubik cube solver robot

As i could not yet solve the Rubiks cube i decided to build a Rubiks cube solver based on the detailed instructions available at www.mindcuber.com . This robot solves the Rubiks cube by scanning the sides and then calculating the number of steps to turn the cube faces to solve the cube. Its built with a Lego Mindstorms kit

My first public talk

I gave my first talk on the topic ‘Learning from Toys’ as part of the Project GEIT – Goans Empowered with Information Technology workshop at the South Goa District Library, Navelim, Margao. There were over 150 kids in attendance. The event was organised by my first Guru Vincent Toscano The organisers mentioned this ”Master Sai Pranav Gandhi (std. 1) demonstrating to the kids his LEGO Mindstorm EV3 programmable toys….amazing to see a new little star rise on the Goan tech horizon going by the way he commanded the audience in an interactive session!” Check out the video and pictures
