Anyone doing a Creative or Applied Project for Capstone?

[jonesy20]

I just signed up for the April Capstone at TESU with Professor Tomko. I've been working on this life size boxing robot arcade game for a few years and would like to use it for a Creative or Applied Project. 

My difficulty is in putting together the Major question. I can't think of anyone beyond "Wouldn't it be cool if you could control your own human size boxing robot?" but I don't think that's what they're after. Ideas?

You still have to do the research paper to go with any creative project, so it seems like an unnecessary extra burden in my opinion. You still need to have proper sources to cite, etc.

Unless you were developing some sort of AI robot for health related purposes or something, I can't really see your boxing robot really working for this.

You will spend the first six weeks of the course writing the same background chapters as the rest of the class. Then you will have 2-3 weeks to finish your creative project and write about it. If you can finish your project in that time frame then there is a possibility you could make it work. If you need more time for this part, you can pay for a 1-month extension. I believe you also have to do a powerpoint/multimedia presentation at the end if you choose a creative project. So, you write 1 less chapter than everyone else (albeit the longest chapter) but you have the additional requirements of completing the actual project and creating a presentation on your project.

How did your capstone go with him? What kind of grader is he?
