TigerBug

TigerBug is a robot design I am working on for use at RIT for swarm research and as a fundraising/education tool . I am also working on developing a simulation to put TigerBug to use. Details of my progress on the different hardware and software components of this project can be found below.

What I've been up to recently

Gosh it's been awhile! Many things are going on but few of them get finished. Here's something fun though - I converted an oily machine shop workbench into a workbar, and explored some new techniques along the way. Link to the full post in my bio ☝️

This little home shop just became quite a bit larger! The transit was questionable, but nothing broke. Planning a number of improvements to this tool, to soon enable quite a few future projects...

Summer's in full, heh, swing out here, so @decidedly_unremarkable and I put together a hammock stand! It's made out of some no-so-great plywood and electrical conduit, plus a few bits of hardware to hold things together. Blog post to follow w/ instructions if there's any interest in that! It's pretty great to enjoy some R&R outdoors without planting two trees and, y'know, waiting 20 years 🌳-_-🌳

A quick & dirty #functionalprint this evening, to repair a busted latch on a headlamp. The printed clip is simply CA glued to a flat face around the charging flap - you'd hardly know it wasn't original!

I solved a mystery and fixed my old #printrbot 's filament guide over the weekend! Small writeup at the bio link, for those curious. There are newer printers and better extruders to be had, but this cost me nothing and took only an hour or so to complete, so I'm satisfied. I just need to make objects again...

I'm making me jelly! This is made from #local kumquats, which lie somewhere between grapes, oranges, and lemons.
