Chompy the Chainchomp Monster
Chompy is an interactive monster, inspired on Mario Kart’s Chainchomp and created for a themed Mario Kart space. Developed with sound, a motion sensor and a power circuit. Chompy was able to open his mouth, open and close his eyes, and make sounds while detecting the proximity of the users. Built in a circular structure of foam, paper, cardboard and wood, with a circuit of solenoids, led matrixes and ultrasonic sensors.

Chompy was a challenging project that spanned several months for us and tested our skills in design, fabrication, code and circuit design. He was showcased in the Fall 2019 ITP Show.
