Hay all, I'm keen this summer to try and keep those design skills sharp. So we're thinking about trying to tackle a mega group project. Open to all and make a sweet piece for portfolio. and also learn CAD for those who haven't tackled solidworks yet, or improve if you know a bit already.
Its been suggested that we try and make a robot (or another complex thing with different sections) and each person if responsible for just one part. I.e. an arm/leg/head/torso/weapon. You would keep in contact with the people doing the parts which attach to yours to co-ordinate the joins etc. And the resulting aesthetic and materials would be real interesting.
The more people the better and more complex we could make it. It would also be cool to try and get an animation student on board to get some help animating at the end.
I know people are still busy but we could maybe work on it through the whole summer when people are round. We can all meet up for some cad sessions too if people need a hand up to be brought up to speed on SW (solidworks).
Who's keen???????? Its going to be mean!!!!
