What I've Been Up To Recently

Given my lack of interesting personal stories to share, I thought I'd post some things that have amused me recently.


So first of all, there's this guy (Nick Bertke) that takes movies and remixes them into incredible songs. They aren't supposed to have lyrics; instead he uses small snippets of sound to create interesting melodies.

Here's his website if you're interested.

I've also been busy working on a robotics team. We're a little more than halfway through a six week build season to build a robot for a competition. Essentially, ours will climb a pyramid (pictured below) and dispense frisbees at the top. If all goes well.

Here is our robot so far (tilted sideways):

Driving our robot for the first time:

Testing a pneumatic system that will tilt our robot onto the edge of the pyramid. We had to hold it to keep it from tipping, but it pushed itself up.
