The bank safe has a 'keypad' style panel for entry of 'secret' pin numbers, programmed by the students in their BASIC program. A solenoid bolt, anti-tamper motion switch and siren add to the variety of tasks that can be completed with this project.
The robust washing machine model has an internal 'drum' that can be rotated in either direction at variable speed. The door contains both a microswitch sensor and solenoid bolt to mimic real-life.
