TigerBug: What’s your vector, Victor?

This is part of TigerBug, a robot design I am working on for use at RIT for research and as a fundraising tool . Take a look at the project hub for more progress on different components of this project.  This update is about 2 weeks late due to the holidays, but a modicum of … Continue reading TigerBug: What’s your vector, Victor? →

TigerBug: Mechanical machinations

This is part of TigerBug, a robot design I am working on for use at RIT for research and as a fundraising tool . Take a look at the project hub for more progress on different components of this project.  Swarm robots are tiny. really tiny. They're intended to be as low-cost as possible, work … Continue reading TigerBug: Mechanical machinations →

TigerBu(zz): The Simulation

This is part of TigerBug, a robot design I am working on for use at RIT for swarm research and as a fundraising/education tool . Take a look at the project hub for more progress on different components of this project.  I  (and quite a few other people in the robotics field )  am amazed by … Continue reading TigerBu(zz): The Simulation →

What I've been up to recently

Remember kiddos, don't mix your wood and metal dusts!
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...
