The SoundBot utilizes an amplified and filtered microphone output to react to noises created by its audience.  In most cases, the greater the sound an onlooker makes, the more pronounced the robot’s reaction.  When the SoundBot hears something, it first begins to glow, before responding to the user in one of several ways. In certain situations, the SoundBot requires verbal encouragement to go about its business, and will only move and draw when spoken to. In an alternate setting, the SoundBot draws in a set algorithmic pattern, deviating from its assigned path when yelled or screamed at. Finally, the user can “steer” the SoundBot with their voice, forcing it into a sustained spin by talking or yelling at it, eventually releasing it off in a new direction when they finally quiet down.
