Goal: As a group, build a 2D bleach printer that bleaches shirts based on photos Role: Team Co-Lead (with Dunya Baradari) Contribution: Coordinating a team of 20 people and integrating the sub-team's work into a final demo Team Documentation:Here
Details:
As a team of 20 people who have never worked together before...
Design a machine that includes mechanism, actuation, automation, application
Build the mechanical parts and operate it manually
Actuate and automate machine
Live demo in front of 100 people
In 6 days
I was elected as a co-lead on the project
My primary role was coordination and integration of the sub-team's work into a final demo
As part of integration, I wrote code to...
Sort the image dots by nearest neighbor (efficiently routing)
Scale the image dot coordinates to fit the print area without distorting the image
Stop the machine each time it reached a dot's coordinate and activate the pump to print a dot
You can see the final result of this in the video above and on the team's website (linked above)
Below are some checklists I used to track and organize the team's progress throughout the week
