On Sunday I stayed in a little extra before working on our powerpoint for the STEMXR team meeting. Then yesterday, we began on our deeper dive MCAs and I did my first 3D print in ~10 years (I didn’t model it SAJ). Im trying to test a bunch of different mechanics with 3D printing like joints, chain links, mechanical compliance, and magnets to hopefully make something really cool. I stayed at VRAC until 10 pm working on homework with Angy and then started brainstorming until 2 AM about modeling stuffs.
Today the STEMXR team is going to Storm Lake, Iowa to finally experience the culture and everything it has to offer.
