Sculpt and paint seems on the Mamenchisaurus after installation.  Worlds Largest Dinosaur exhibit
Finished Mamenchisaurus Project.  Worlds Largest Dinosuar exhibit
Maintain and redesign the exhibit to function better and make maintanence easier.  Started by redesigning the ear clip for the neurosky transmitter and reciever to last ten times longer than the original.  Also redesign the circuit to make the ear clip maintained more easily.  I also put in an air dryer to keep moisture out of the solenoids to enhange the longevity of ehibit components.  Ping pong balls were used originally and keeped breaking over and over, this was eventually resolved by adding 32 mm HDPE plastic balls that rarely broken from the air pressure.  
Maintain and redesign exhibit for durability of more than a million visitors a year.  This includes redesigning the oscilloscope probe, making the circuit blocks out of lexan to protect the cirucits inside and redesign electrical components to function better and last longer.
Complete maintainence, including replace bearings and shaft coupling on rohlix actuator.  Troubleshoot the motor, the motor controller and CME 2 software to determine which component needs to be repaired or replaced.
Maintain all electrical and mechanicl components.  
Install and calibrate the thermal camera after sevicing and maintain heating and cooling units to interact with the camera.
Redesign exhibit by removing water feature and reinforcing sliding electrode arm with steel base to ensure better and longer use.  Troubleshoot mechanical and electronic components.  
Collaborate on the design and development of the new robot arena using components from VEX and help determine how guest interact with them.

Install turtles for advertising Amazing Animals, Built to Survive exhibit at the Perot Museum.
Assist with 3-D printing design and hardware for exhibit parts and public programs.
Manage the complete redesign on the M.I.D.I sound room.  Including the creation of the code and electronics hardware needed to interpret M.I.D.I. signals and send signals to outputs being both physical instruments and notes and sounds from a synthesizer.
