Puffy The Underwater Pufferfish Robot Analysis

Puffy, The Underwater pufferfish robot By Malakai Lohse’ The Problem The ocean. It cover most of the planet. And yet, we know virtually nothing about it. And even we can’t explore the entire ocean ourselves. That’s why we built robots to do it for us. The problem is that we can’t study the animals without scaring them away with our robots. That is where Puffy comes in. He is pufferfish themed, because of the fact that another fish like a pufferfish wouldn’t scare them away, right? You might be thinking, what if a tiger shark or something tries to eat it. Well, if that happens, the robot will be built to be bigger, faster, and the spikes sharper, as well as having a juice that will stun whatever tries to eat it. That way it would not hurt the animals, but only temporarily stun it so Puffy can get away.
How It Works
Puffy, is a robot of which, when built, can go to places we can’t go ourselves. He, if not guessed by the name, would resemble a pufferfish. Not only because it is fast in the water, but if something bad happens to the robot, it can “Puff up” like a real pufferfish, and the driver which is at the shore, can activate an emergency
Also, if the robot is disguised as something the animals down in the ocean are relatively used to, then we could see them in their natural habitat, without scaring them away. Think about it. What would you do if a huge robot or something you’ve never seen broke into your house and stalked you or watched everything you do? Freak out and run away, right? Same thing for the fish. So a pufferfish wouldn’t scare them because they’ve all probably seen a pufferfish at least once in their life. Also, since the material, wurtzite boron nitride, is the hardest known material on Earth, Puffy wouldn’t break easily, so the exoskeleton of Puffy would keep the parts inside of him
