    The above virtual task can also be carried out using physical hardware components. Let's perform
                     the same.

                     Materials Required

                                    Filament (PLA)                                   3D Printer
                     Steps Walkthrough

                     To bring your Tinkercad robot to life with 3D printing, start by opening Tinkercad and adding a Box
                     shape for the head. Resize it and choose the desired colour. Use Sphere shapes for the eyes and
                     Cone and Sphere shapes for the antenna. Add a Box for the body and use Cylinder, Tube and Box
                     shapes for the arms, then group them together using the Union Group button. For the legs, adjust
                     Cylinder shapes and add more for the wheels. Once finished, group all components and save the
                     file as .STL or .OBJ. Set up the 3D printer by loading the filament and selecting the appropriate
                     material. Finally, send the print command to bring your robot to life.
                     Final Output

                     The 3D printing will produce a fully physical robot model, similar to the Tinkercad design.

                     DESIGN A ROBOT PET

                     A Robot Pet is a robot made to look and act like a real animal. It can move, make sounds and
                     respond to touch or voice. Robot pets are used for fun, learning or companionship, especially for
                     people who can’t have real animals.
