Your task this week is to Create a Python file to run on an Opentrons liquid handling robot. 0. Review this week’s recitation and this week’s lab for details on the Opentrons and programming it. 1. Generate an artistic design using the GUI at opentrons-art.rcdonovan.com. 2. Using the coordinates from the GUI, follow the instructions in the HTGAA26 Opentrons Colab to write your own Python script which draws your design using the Opentrons. ◦ You may use AI assistance for this coding — Google Gemini is integrated into Colab (see the stylized star bottom center); it will do a good job writing functional Python, while you probably need to take charge of the art concept. ◦ If you’re a proficient programmer and you’d rather code something mathematical or algorithmic instead of using your GUI coordinates, you may do that instead. Ask for help early! 3. If the Python component is proving too problematic even with AI and human assistance, download the full Python script from the GUI website and submit that: Use the download icon pointed to by the red arrow in this diagram. The Python component was problematic and I sent the the python script (1 OTDesign_02-26-26_22-49-52.py)</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/paul-thiong-o/homework/week-03-hw-lab-automation/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
