Lasers, sensors, cameras! A 3D scanning backpack for UC Berkeley (part 1)

About a year ago I was contacted by a professor at UC Berkeley who had found my resume online. Her team had produced a backpack device that was capable of collecting data to generate 3D models of internal spaces, and she needed a new backpack designed that would be smaller … Continue reading →

A new joystick

Here’s a quick update of a project I was able to do pretty quickly- one of the BORP players was having trouble reaching her joystick properly to continue playing at a high level, but there weren’t any off-the-shelf products that would allow that to happen, and most of the customizable … Continue reading →

Sound check, one two!

They have been a long time coming, but I am finally making some headway. I have the laser cut acrylic end caps mated to the cardboard tubes, the DSP programmed, and the woofers in place. Here’s what it looks like so far: She. I add the lithium battery pack to … Continue reading →

A Full Soccer Chair

Here’s what I’ve been keeping busy with lately! One of the BORP players was able to get a new Quickie P200 (new to him- they haven’t been manufactured in at least five years), and he asked me to give it “the works”. I took this as an opportunity to try … Continue reading →

Goofy photo technique

I recently read about how out facial features (like all things) take on a distorted perspective as we get closer or farther away. Getting closer will make your nose bigger, and anything farther from the lens smaller. It isn’t just your nose- it’s whatever is closest to the lens that … Continue reading →

Another soccer guard (3)

Here’s a picture of my setup for how I’m able to (relatively) quickly bang out some bars for the soccer guard. When I set up the mill like this and use the vertical tube to orient and locate the horizontal tube, I just need to drive the X axis to … Continue reading →

Another soccer guard (2)

There it is- the new guard. I haven’t put it onto a chair yet, but I have a good feeling about it. I think I got things fairly straight. A jig to hold everything during tack welding would have made things go together easier. It also would have been nice … Continue reading →

Another soccer guard

I’ve been working on a design for the team that will be somewhat light weight, and not as expensive, time consuming, or fragile as the one I made for Kendra. Aircraft Spruce sells some 1″ diameter tube for $2.80 per foot, compared to $3.50 per foot for the smaller diameter … Continue reading →

Do you remember the story of my friend who accidentally at dog food on the bike tour? I went to the store today and found a can of Alpo- it really is hard to see where it says it’s dog food! Check it out:

Soccer guard

Here’s what I finished welding today! It’s not as lightweight as the other guards I’ve made, but it’s a copy of one that’s working well. One of the players dads made one just like this, and this is a copy. The thing is STRONG!
