The Puma Beatbot was a ton of fun. Working alongside the geniuses at Area of Effect and 10xBeta, I helped engineer a system to do computer vision and adjust the direction and speed of the beatbot, a robot that could move as fast as Usain Bolt. Little known fact: the iPad-based remote control system to launch and tune the settings was derived from an interactive halloween costume I built the previous year that interfaced with Area of Effect’s custom chips.
