Final sequence: The robot starts in Perth on the map and heads to each location around Australia EG Carnarvon for bananas, Wheat Belt for Wheat, Barossa Valley for grapes. Upon arrival at each place the robots tell the audience about the food, where it’s from, how it is grown and harvested. Each ingredient is moved back to Perth and dropped off. Robot tells us the recipe and they students bring out the food they have prepared day before. |
