Choose Your Own Adventure: Shredbot OCULUS SketchChair The idea behind my project is simple. First, Recycling is Oculus is a remote controlledt robot consisRng of an SketchChair is a free, open-‐source so_ware tool that allows always important and if we are going to put 3D plas3c adjustable frame that holds a variety of small laptops (aka anyone to easily design and build their own digitally printers in every home, we are going to make mistakes with netbooks), complete with powered wheels and a RlRng fabricated furniture. our plasRc projects. Why not reuse and Recycle those periscope for the laptops built-‐in webcam. It has easy-‐to-‐ The goal for this project is not just to complete the so_ware projects? Second, we are all useing so much plasRc now install, open source control so_ware, and you can control it anyway, why not recycle it in home and reuse it as well? I over the internet using any PC web browser, iOS or Android and release the source code, but also to build an online community of people creaRng, sharing and ediRng designs. have seen one filament extruder on Kickstarter, and it raised device. a couple of quesRons for me, "How are we going to Within the program, users will be able to upload chairs they reduce plasRc bo?les and other plasRc consumables into •  Telepresence: 2-‐way audio and video have created, which will then go on display at SketchChair.cc. pieces small enough to place easily into an extruder, and •  Remote surveillance: leave the robot running for weeks Any of these chairs can then be downloaded and edited, make it easier to store?” while youre away from the home or office allowing chair designs to evolve as users conRnually refine The answer..........>>>>>The Shredrbot<<<<< and modify them.
