Robot Disco – It Begins!

It all started with a Craigslist ad for an electric wheelchair base with dead batteries. I had no idea what I wanted to do with it but after seeing the cupcake art cars at burning man in 2019 I knew I needed to build something similar.

The machine is manufactured by Pihsiang Machinery MFG Co LTD. The posting came with all the electrics for the scoother by a company called Dynamic Controls. I tried interfacing with the Shark Controller with little luck and decided to simplify and replace all the electronics with standard robotics devices. But first we need to test out the OEM systems.

Teacher Money – BRC 2019

Bryan and Steph’s First Burn! 2019 was our camp’s inaugural year. We decided to go full send and start a theme camp. A fellow burner and VR developer created a VR experience called Cosmic Sugar. We loved sharing it with our friends and knew we wanted to bring it to playa as our camp’s main interactivity. Once we got placed, we knew we could not do it alone, so we reached out for help on Reddit. That is where we met the other founding members.

At the time, Cindy and Jamie were virgins like us, Albert and Nanako had burned twice, and Blake had an impressive nine burns under his belt. We ran the interactivity each night for around 150 burners. People seemed to really enjoy it, and we even had people tell us it was the best gift they received.

Our Name

Our name is really just an oxymoron that is meant to make people think about the state of public education and how much we compensate the people that are molding our future generations.

To create an environment that empowers everyone to realize their full potential as the artist of their own life, learning to shape themselves into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Recent 3D Prints

I am back!

It has been over two years since I have last made a post and I apologize. I plan is to start posting regularly again and set a goal for myself to post atleast once a week. Here are some 3D Prints I have done in the past few months.

7 Turn Helical 5.2Ghz

I broke the center column of my [wikilink]helical antenna[/wikilink] so I found a model on thingiverse and printed it off. It was much easier the guide the wire through all the holes and only took 1 hour to print and build. #Frugal

My Entry Micro Brushed Microdrone

I love the tinywhoop but I no longer fly with Spektrum Transmitters any more. I do love a new project so I found a model of Thingiverse again and when to town. This drone has inspired me to design my own sub 100mm brushed frame. More on that to come 🙂
