Team 21 Pop 'Em Drop 'Em Robots TSCP #9 Environmental Impact Analysis Jacqueline Greer
Abstract • Electronic version of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots • One or two players control movements of robots using Nintendo WiiMote and Nunchuk • Player punches and dodges translate into robot movements • Hits are recorded and deplete a health bar • Selectable battle music
Product Life Cycle • Manufacturing • Normal Use • Disposal
Manufacturing • PCB - formaldehyde, lead, etc contains toxins and carcinogens • LCD - sodium hexafluoride and other chemicals - global warming and ozone depletion • Packaging - wood extension to arena • Future iterations - minimize size of PCB, make arena extension not out of wood
Normal Use • Two power supplies - high power consumption • Future iteration - use only one power supply
Disposal • Electronic waste from PCB and LCD - recycled or reclaimed at special centers • Batteries for WiiMotes - advertise using rechargeable batteries or recycling them • Plastic arena and robots - use recyclable or biodegradable plastic, or advertise recycling it • Wood - biodegradable • Biggest issue - getting users to do something besides throw it in the trash
