I wanted to share my homework assignment from Wonder Workshop. Prototype something engaging for Dot the robot, using the lego compatible attachments.
It started with a Lego Star Wars kit, and I built it as Lego designed. The kit was finished and was collecting dust, and I wanted to have some more fun with it.
... so, I modified it to use Dot. Dot seemed like a perfect fit for the Tie Fighter.
And since the robot is just $49, I think Dot is a great toy to bring Legos to life. Dot has connectors that are compatible with Lego Blocks.
Instead of just following building instructions, I used imagination and expressed myself with the modification. It was a lot of fun, enjoy!
I modified the Tie fighter for Dot to be the pilot.

Let's turn him on.
He comes to life. - 'What where am I?'
Let's run the Tie Fighter program, made with Wonder.

This is the Wonder program I used to bring it all to life.
I recorded Star Wars sounds for this program, using the iPad.
