For the record, your bs umbrella idea is patented.
your teacher is a dumbsh*t and is using that as an excuse to filter ideas.
Link to patent? I couldn't find anything on google patent search.

1. To be honest, I'm unsure on how I'm going to do this. I'm thinking about having a sensor in front(or inside) that constantly looks for and attempts to navigate itself toward another sensor that the user would be holding.
2. A typical city sidewalk mainly. I'm still trying to think of ways on how I have it adapt(roll on) to sand since I believe it would be best suited for beaches.
3. I would like to keep it at an average of 4 mph for walking purposes. At max maybe 7 - 10 mph for jogging/running (I know this is a bit of a stretch)
4. Maybe 30 ft. I'm sure the person wants shade so they would try and keep it in close prox with them.
5. I wasn't sure about this one, good question. I'm thinking about having a huge, heavy base for the umbrella to sit in. I'm sure if I do that, the umbrella would just snap.
This. If you have a legit senior project it will help your college admissions iirc.Seriously, this is not a good project :/ You'll save yourself a lot of trouble now choosing something else if you have the option.
How about you give us the qualities it has to meet and we'll help you choose a practical one (and one that universities will be impressed with)

I would think any sort of patent related to your field of study would be a huge help.I would think that even if the project was not this spectacular things that if it was still able to get patented it would help with college admissions. I don't know that I know of anybody with an actual patent, much less a high school senior
Because the problem is easily solved by having another individual hold the umbrella, or wearing other rain gear if hands free dryness is required.You guys are being douches about his idea. All he wants to do is solve a problem that umbrellas cause and there is a way, just no one wants to be creative enough to solve it.

I would but all the practical ones are patented.
My teacher says that we can't do anything that already been patented, so...
then why stick with a wheel based robot.
Flying Umbrella Robot is where the power lay.
Situations where an umbrella is required are often windy and less than ideal for flight. I can't see a hover-brella working well.then why stick with a wheel based robot.

Y'know, I'd also like to point out that the solution to what he is doing is R.O.P.E.S.You guys are being douches about his idea. All he wants to do is solve a problem that umbrellas cause and there is a way, just no one wants to be creative enough to solve it.
So wait, are you serious? Internet people can help you do this? If so, let's get on a webcam and talk it out.
