We created our first iteration using cardboard, foam, and wooden dowels. We realized there would be a lot of design factors we hadn't originally thought of like what the eyes would look like, where the mouth would be, whether it should have a tongue or not, etc.  We had trouble getting it to stand and support the cardboard cutouts. We hope to start the electronic components next week, but we will have to decide what the robot should be programmed to do (walk, make noises, recognize objects to not run into, etc).  We also have to figure out what materials the final iteration should be made out of.
