Project completed: The Cleaner Picker Upper in action!

Well, this has been a very interesting project. Ava's idea of a submarine to clean the ocean water of plastic and metal pollution was very clever. I think I was able to bring her inventive idea to life through this little model. Once powered up, the model randomly switches on the propeller to drive the submarine, the beam lights to help guide the vessel through the murky waters, the sonar to detect potential obstacles or avoid schools of fish and finally an electromagnet to pick up metal debris. The waste is collected in a bag while the filtered water is channeled through the exhaust manifold.
