New Comic

Have you ever wanted to be an author?  Do you like to make people laugh?  Do you enjoy reading about the Doom Flowers' latest escapades in robotics?

Now you can join in the fun by making your own Doom Comic!  Our new comic, Doom Make a Book, will teach you how to make a book out of one sheet of paper so that you can create your own stories (of doom.)  The less ambitious can still enjoy our new comic-- you can learn how to fold one of our other comics into a book so that you can enjoy it anytime.

Note: Be sure to keep on the lookout for our next Doom Comic... it's in the works as we speak!

Hardware...Yay

 4322 (Murphy)

4322 is now designing a new arm that can hopefully reach the top peg without breaking anything. If you have seen earlier posts, we were designing an arm that used chain to move. Now, we are using a similar design to replicate the results but make it simpler and more effective. Our current ramp is on the prototype shelf, and gathering dust. We are working on autonomies and our new arm while the end game is on hold.

452 (Shelob)

452 is doing minor changes and re-gearing the arm so that it is easier to control and not as fast and jerky. We are also trying to fix the ramp deployment system and it is coming along beautifully. We are also working on making the ramp wider with flaps that fold out during deployment
