Fringe Robotics is officially two years old, this last year has been quite busy. Lots on new projects started.

CD industrial group has kept me busy with assorted odd jobs, I end up doing a fair bit of engraving and electronics, a typical example:

I designed the panel layout, Engraved the text in the black powder coat and milled out holes to mount everything. There was quite a bit of wiring in each of these as well.

Early in 2013 I built a set of digitigrade legs:

I am working with a fantastic costume/mascot builder in Vancouver to put these into a suit. Currently finishing up the design of an improved pair.

Back in May I started working on the gearing project with a couple artists in Calgary:

I built the display base, milled out the carbon fiber accessories and got the laser cut stainless steel parts made.

Mid August was liquid nitrogen day, the best way to flash freeze peaches for smoothies later.

Currently I am designing a solar powered light trailer prototype for a new company called Lamplighter Solar, a partnership between my brother and I. Pictures of that will be on the Lamplighter site once I have that up and running.

The first year was all about setting up, the second year was meeting potential clients and starting all sorts of projects. This year will see further development of said projects and less time setting up and more time building. Should be an interesting year.

TTFN,
