Inspiration

Living alone in the city has made us very lonely people. We decided that the perfect way to amend this problem was to program a companion.

What it does

The companion, Bob will get hungry, unhappy, sick and poop; if is up to the user to keep him from dying from neglection.

How we built it

Using an Arduino with a LCD screen and three buttons, it is a simple product.

Challenges we ran into

We did not have enough parts to make the circuit, and had to solder the wires to the LCD screen, so we decided to used 123D circuits by Autodesk instead. It still doesn't work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Bob asks the user "Please love me <3".

What we learned

How to use/program a LCD screen, and how to stay vigilant.

What's next for Tomodatchi

Coming in 3D to a computer near you!
