Box Buddy, is a creature who loves to communicate, despite being a simple box. It communicates with sound, light, and senses. If it makes a vibrating sound, it becomes aggressive and walks fast. However, if you approach kindly, it will become your friend.

How does it work?

Box warns when you get too close through the use of a vibration motor and will express its defense with dc motors and a led matrix. When he trusts you he will make happy beeping noises with the buzzer. All code has been written in Arduino.
