2. An useful Robot!!

How many mechanical engieering projects are full of pointless robots that only serve to assess knowledge? I know, that’s what they are meant to be right? but the thing is, we can do so much more with that time and resources even if it is a simple game of playing throwing the ball with your dog!

4. Calculate how much it’ll cost to build a well-known scifi structure

Economics students of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania calculated that it would cost $8,100,000,000,000,000 to build the Death Star. Around 13,000 times the whole world’s gross domestic product (GDP) of each country to build one today.
