Sketching with Hardware 4/5: Blowfish

Posted March 25, 2013 by Chris

“This years theme in "Sketching with Hardware" was Bionics. Consequently, the task was to rebuild or reuse a natural and biological method. Our team decided to imitate the behavior of Tetraodontidae – that’s the family of fish with the ability to inflate their body to a ball-like shape in order to defend itself. In an outburst of pure creativity, we named our prototype Blowfish!”

This might remind you of our Simple Motor Optical Encoder.
