Snowball: Pet 2.0

As university students, it is simply impractical for us to have a pet companion with us while we attend school - we can barely take care of ourselves, let alone another animal. For those of us who crave a furry friend in their lives, we propose Snowball: Pet 2.0. Not only will Snowball be a loyal companion through thick and thin, they’ll respond to your every (movement) command - in any direction - and even do tricks! With a wearable controller glove, telling your pet what to do has never been easier and more intuitive. Snowball will consist of two components: a small robot on four wheels that will be able to maneuver in any direction and a glove which can send commands to the robot through hand gestures. We hope one day we’ll be able to walk Snowball down Locust with us on our way to class.
