Vehicle Modification
A small project I started for my own vehicle as a start for blurring the line between custom props made for work and non-work things.
Autodesk Hyperspace Madness TriloBot Mk1 debuts at Collider 2013
Built for Autodesk, the Hyperspace Madness TriloBot Mk1 made its debut on Monday June 10th at Collider 2013 in NYC. Created as an example of the ability to use various Autodesk software products like Inventor and 3ds Max in a pipeline that can create digital assets that can go on to VFX, gaming and fabrication applications. More capabilities in the for the fabricated robot version will be coming online soon in the Mk2.

Google Maps- Explore Your World – for 1st Ave Machine
CNC version 2
Been working for a while now on redesigning and improving on the first 5’x5′ CNC machine that was built back when we started working on the Google Maps “Explore Your World” project. Wanted to completely rebuild a new bigger version that could handle full 4′ x 8′ stock material as well as be able to do some metal milling. Essentially only reusing the electronics and motors from version 1.
The build has been goi
ng for a few months now, starting with a new torsion box tabletop that is the foundation of the entire machine. The torsion box was built from 3/4″ birch ply and measures just over 5′ x 9′. Future versions may utilize a steel table framework to enable either a plasma cutter or a 4th and 5th axis for cutting foam forms.
Here’s a little video of the first test of the Y axis and a single motor on the X axis. The X axis will soon have two motors installed, one on each side of the gantry to eliminate racking and provide more torque. Hopefully within a week the Z-axis will be built and work can begin on modifying the router for more precise speed control via computer.
Camera Motion Control Rig
Work continues on the small scale prototype of a 6 axis motion control camera rig for small form factor DSLR cameras.
Recently switched over from belt driven to rack and pinion drive for the dolly for modular track expandability. Jib arm prototype working well and just needs the swing/turntable mechanism to be built. Possibly replacing a servo for the roll component of the camera head or perhaps even switching pan, tilt and roll to stepper motors. Need to move to a larger rackmount chassis for MPU to accomodate larger power supplies.
