Scissor Lift Design

We are currently working on developing a 12ft scissor lift design using GoBilda for use on a warehouse automation robot we are working on. The scissor lift is capable of 12ft at full extension and uses consists of 4 stages of 43.5in cross members to achieve this. We started yesterday and this is what we […]

Brooklyn Firmware V2 Complete

I took a little break from working on the Brooklyn Board mainly just because I am pretty busy. We decided to start a company called LearningPath that will encompass a bunch of other companies focused on everything ranging from warehouse and logistics to cleaning bathrooms and I am lead project engineer for each of these.

Brooklyn Board: Arduino ISP Testing

I’ve been holding off on this project for about a month now, not because I don’t want to do it but because I know its a lot of work and as soon as I sit down to work on it I won’t be able to stop for days on end. Today I finally pulled the […]

What challenged you to have to complete […]

Slidemap 10.1 Update

For the past two days, I have been having some adventures with stepper motors. First I needed to try and get it working with the part sorter. In the process of doing so, I broke the Makerbase controller that I was going to use for Slidemap. I still had the Ramps 1.4 controller as a […]

Part Sorter V2.0 Module

Today I worked on finally creating the part sorter module that I had cadded. The basic premise is that I have two laser cut panels attached with gorail and a stepper motor is mounted in between to the top plate. The stepper motor will have a gear on top of it, which I am still […]

Part Sorter V2.0!

I decided to sit down yesterday and start cadding a brand new version of the part sorter. I had a few requirements for the design process. Easily Scalable and Stackable Small Size Low Cost I had a few ideas to do this the first was to use lazy susan mounted to a gobilda frame and […]

FRC Season Begins Already

Today was the club rush for my highschool meaning as captain of the FRC team I had to be there to try and recruit new Freshmen. Last year we struggled to get any members who would stick around but it really wasn’t a problem with the program or team it was a problem with passion. […]

Slidemap V10.1 Frame Done!

I spent about two hours today assembling the rest of the linear actuators. I obviously couldn’t attach stepper motors because I am still trying to find ones that will work well but I was able to get it all mechanically sound. I also still need a few rods for the z-axis but those can wait […]

Slidemap v10.1 Linear Actuator(Working!)

I headed over to Techgarage today with my limited time and worked on assembling the first linear actuator for Slidemap v10.1 because the parts came in. I built it quickly which was good and I realized that my design has very easy access to all screws and holes which will be extremely useful when I […]
