What began as a cheap robo-vacuum with a short life span turned into a small open-source robotics project. When the stock control…
Hydrogen is one of the most efficient lift gases available, but also one of the most elusive. Even in multi-layer latex or…
A TIGO Build Log: Part Inspiration, Part Guidance, Part “Look What You Can Do With Almost No Money.” Back in 2014, small UGVs were finally becoming accessible to researchers, but the good platforms were still wildly…
Posted November 16, 2025What began as a cheap robo-vacuum with a short life span turned into a small open-source robotics project. When the stock control board failed, I decided to gut the unit and rebuild it from the chassis…
Posted November 6, 2025Hydrogen is one of the most efficient lift gases available, but also one of the most elusive. Even in multi-layer latex or composite balloon envelopes, hydrogen diffusion is constant, the small molecular size (0.29 nm) allows…

Posted November 6, 2025I built this interactive web app as a playful take on generative storytelling, a murder mystery party generator that spins up unique whodunnits right in the browser.It’s powered entirely by JavaScript and runs locally, using a…
Posted November 5, 2025Sometimes you just need a dead-simple CRUD app to poke at a database without committing to one vendor, or as a learner starter or test app. This little starter is exactly that: a Next.js 14 app…

Posted October 30, 2025Exploring fiber refinement and nanoscale structure from natural cellulose sources Nano-fibrils are the smallest threadlike structures that can be derived from natural cellulose pulp, the same plant fibers found in paper and wood. When these fibrils…
Posted October 30, 2025So, here’s a weekend adventure I recently got into: I wanted a super cheap, high-torque actuator for a robot joint. Instead of shelling out a loads of money on specialty motors or, like previous projects, spend…
