Scenario 1
There is a long line of GREEN boxes, as if on a conveyor belt. (You don’t have to model the conveyor belt – just pretend it’s there.)
The robot lifts the box at the head of the queue and stacks it in a pile at its side.
Once the robot has finished stacking a box, the rest of the boxes move forward one place, and the process is repeated.
Suddenly, a RED box appears at the head of the queue.
The robot appears confused – all the boxes are supposed to be green! (You may change this to be another type of object if you like.)
Animate the reaction of the robot, and how it deals with this sudden turn of events. (When something unusual happens to start a story, this is called the inciting incident.)
Scenario 2
The same as for scenario 1, the robot is busy stacking boxes.
However, the robot seems tired of its work, as if unfulfilled in life.
The robot wants to rebel and break free!
Animate how the robot attempts to rebel – or at least to break the monotony and grind of its work for a short time. For example, does it go crazy and throw boxes around, or do a robot dance, or stack the boxes in some unusual way, or what?
Scenario 3
The same as for scenario 1, the robot is busy stacking boxes.
However, in this case, the conveyor doesn’t wait for the robot to finish stacking a box before moving the queue – it keeps moving the boxes forward, slowly at first, but getting faster and faster, as if there’s been a malfunction.
Animate the reaction of the robot, and how it deals with this sudden turn of events.
Scenario 4
The same as for scenario 1, the robot is busy stacking boxes.
However, in this case, once the robot has finished stacking a box, the remaining boxes do NOT move forward.
Animate the reaction of the robot, and how it deals with this sudden turn of events.
Scenario 5
The same as for scenario 1, the robot is busy stacking boxes.
The robot lifts a box, turns to place it on the stack – but the box is stuck! The robot can’t drop the box!
Animate the reaction of the robot, and how it deals with this sudden turn of events.
My storyboard
I chose scene 3 and this is supposedly my storyboard.
Name of Robot
For starters, I think I would name my robot arm: Homer.
Because the Homer Simpson from The Simpsons portrays some anger emotions when the time comes.
Here are a few angry homer moments:
The character of the arm is anger.
Homer is angry and frustrated that he has to do this same, routine work everyday and he is getting sick and tired of it. He is very fed up with his work that he doesn't do it properly; he picks up the boxes suddenly and drops them at a height, not caring whether it is fragile.
To quote a thought from Homer the arm:

To quote a thought from Homer the arm:
"I want to do something different instead of this same old crap that I have been doing for the past 20 years god-dammit. I should get a medal or something for doing this all the time! ARGH!"
