Update from the Interns

Finally, an update from the interns! After a month and a half of design, explosions, and other vaguely engineering-related activities, we've completed our first wave of epic projects. Shooting begins this weekend, so be on the lookout for new videos in the coming weeks. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you can be the first to receive updates about our new endeavors. Remember, this is just a taste of the awesomeness yet to come!

Waterloo vs the PhDs

I know we've been a bit quiet lately, our day jobs lately have been more day-and-night jobs. But don't worry we're back (like Die Hard....with a vengance!). We are moving forward on our latest project. Mind Controlled Mario.

We have successfully figured out how to control an NES from a computer using LabVIEW so the hard parts over. Now we just need to figure out how to design our own isolation system, measure microvolt signals on your skin, interpret these signals and translate them to some sort of external movement on the NES. How hard could that be, I mean its not like there's PhD research being done on this or anything. Oh wait ... there is? Then allow me to compare our iPhone remote controlled car to on done by PhD research.

Our Car ("Wendy")	German Car
$13,000	$200,000+
1 Month	2 years
Couple of undergrad degrees	PhD and research group
Built from scratch	Built on DARPA car

So bring it on PhD research.
