Totoro Piñata
The Totoro piñata was created by me and my friend Philip Chan as a fun art project for our friends. We both enjoyed the Miyazaki film so much that we decided to model an entire Piñata after the blue creature. The Totoro was made out of a balloon shaped paper mache that is reinforced with a cardboard ribcage on the inside. The ears were made using a pair of tissue warped chopsticks and the feet were shaped out of paper cups. The appearance of fur was created by covering the Totoro’s entire body with strips of blue and white paper. The mechanism for releasing the candy was done by pulling a series of pull strings that released a latch holding the belly.
KILLTRON 7000
Killtron 7000 is a biologically inspired crab walking robot designed by me and my team at the University of Victoria back in 2011. The success of the robot was determined by how well it can autonomously navigate between several walls and how much weight it can carry. Many thanks to Aaron Gehman, Andy Berry, Tina Hung, Joshua Yin, Eva Sun and Yuto Hori for making this possible. This is my first autonomous robotics project I’ve done using the Arduino so it will always hold a special place in my heart.
Quadcopter Project
This amazing looking device is a quadcopter that was designed by me and my team at the University of Victoria. The project built completely from scratch using 3D printed parts, some cheap electronics, and a modified version of the AeroQuad software. For those interested in the technical specifications of the project, you should check out our team site. The purpose of the project was to create a DIY quadcopter for under $200 and push the limits of what the 3D printer in our laboratory can do.
Digital Telecine Project
The Digital Telecine was a mechatronics project between my university colleague, Andrew Bornstein, and myself. This project was requisitioned by our client, Arthur Makosinski, who obtained a stack of old 28mm films from an auction but had no means of projecting them as the projectors for these films have been discontinued since the 1930′s. These films are valuable treasures that were printed as a form of education for students and were shown in Canadian schools, but over time are now starting to decay. The goal of this project is to transfer the analog film to a digital format so that the content can be saved for future generations to watch.
Working on adding content
I’m currently working on adding more project content to my project pages. The plan is for me to finish writing my article on the digital telecine by the end of next week. Then hopefully I can start working on some games.
Hello World
This is my first post. I will be working on adding content to these pages very soon. 😀
