Hopper Control Room in an abandoned factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Long Exposure, Strobes, Flashlights Abandonment..
Don't you sometimes wish it's easy to control anything and everything with a turn of a knob here or a push of a button there?
After a brief introduction to XBee we managed to control our vehicle wirelessly through the Arduino serial monitor. Clearly there is room for improvement...
The third module in the 2009/10 Master of Advanced Studies in Computer Aided Architecture Design (MAS CAAD ITA ETH Zürich) is exploring Physical Computing through the development of Braitenberg Vehicles.

Two feats of spacecraft navigation and control combined to create this awesome action shot of Phoenix falling to its landing on Mars on May 25. The Phoenix polar lander was nearing the end of its 679-million-kilometer journey to Mars. It had completed the fiery entry period of its landing, jettisoned its heat shield, and deployed its parachute. At the same time, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was flying on its own path around Mars. The photo, captured by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera, was designed to capture an image of Phoenix that might help engineers figure out the cause of a failure of Phoenix upon landing, so the orbiter was programmed to spin as the image was taken to compensate for Phoenix’s apparent motion and produce a sharp image of the spacecraft. With the fast relative speeds of Phoenix along with the orbiter, and the uncertainty in Phoenix’s exact position that arose from uncertainties about how long its entry would take, the HiRISE team predicted only a 20 percent chance of successfully capturing an image of Phoenix in flight. Both the imaging attempt and the landing were successful, so the image was not needed for engineering, but it provided an amazing snapshot of a spacecraft in the act of landing on another planet. HiRISE is so sharp an imager that you can even make out the stripes on the parachute and the shroud lines connecting it to the lander. Initially, analysts focused only on Phoenix. But upon further investigation of their image, the HiRISE team realized that the background view was impressive, too: a 10-kilometer crater named Heimdall, on whose ejecta blanket Phoenix now sits. (Although it appears that Phoenix was falling into the crater, that’s an optical illusion. The view is oblique, and Phoenix was much closer to the orbiter than was the crater.) Later, the team realized that the blackened heat shield of Phoenix is also visible in the image as a black dot falling toward Mars on a trajectory similar to the bright spacecraft. The image includes some color data, though unfortunately not over Phoenix itself. HiRISE takes images in long, skinny strips, and only the very skinniest center portion of the strip ever contains any color data. The gaps between the color strips are caused by the fact that the camera's detector is actually made up of 14 staggered CCDs, and the spacecraft had to slew at an angle in order not to capture a distorted view of Phoenix. Most of the color information indicates that the landscape is the usual red of Mars, but some blue spots indicate the presence of frost inside Heimdall crater. Credit: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
HiRISE also turned its lens to Phoenix on the ground. The color images at left, taken just after landing, show the lander itself, the heat shield, and the parachute attached to the back shell against red Mars. The parachute and lander are about 300 meters apart. The false color image at right shows the lander on December 21, about 6 weeks after it ceased communication. Frost is not yet apparent here during the last waning days of northern hemisphere summer, but the image appears bluish and blurry due to atmospheric haze. Credit: NASA/JPL/UA

Control Tower at RAF Dwavidstow Moor.
This airfield was built and used from 1942-1945 and was the highest airfield in the UK at 294 meters.
The airfield was used mainly by Coastal Command.
All the skew gears fitted. For some unknown reason Philips made them so that the potentiometer is fully clockwise when the control is at the bottom of its travel, thus meaning many of the potentiometers are reverse log law.
Second version of the PF powered train, controlled by an Mindstorms EV3.
In the previous version, it was not possible to access the charging plug at all. Making it impossible to recharge the battery.
In this version, this problem has been solved. The access to the charging plug is now under the easy-to-remove roof of the train.
In this photo you see the power cable connected.
When I was dogsitting last week at the parents house I decided to bring some of my stuff back up with me (not that I have room for it). This is my favorite radio controlled vehicle, the Traxxas Rustler. It is over 10 years old now, but still screams. Bought a few new 1800 mAh batteries, threw them on the peak charger, and hit the street. Unfortunately after six years of sitting in my parents basement a few screws came lose and I broke a universal joint.. not to worry, should be back up and running in no time. Such a fun hobby. I wonder if our apartment would let me use my boats in the pool?
Opened: 1965
Original owner: Toprank
Current Owner: Moto
Location: M6 J32/33
Then:
Opened as Forton, now known as Lancaster (Forton)
Trivia:
Very distinctive from the road- features a round tower that resembles a Air Traffic Control Tower, which originally was a restaurant, currently in use as offices. The tower is called The Pennine Tower.
An employee of Forton said that the Pennine Tower closed after complaints that it looked like an UFO when lit up at night and was distracting- (Sounds like an urban myth, but its a great tale, It is more likely that the services became too busy to handle the number of visitors- can anyone shed any light on this). Also we are curious to know when it closed?
Update: Eddy Rhead writes: "The tower is closed for that modern malaise Health and Safety! Apparently you need two alternative exits in case of a fire and with just one lift and one staircase coupled with a kitchen the risk is just too high."
We should have guessed it would be health and safety....
Eddy adds: " I have always said that come the end of the world and the human race has to start again, the early travellers will come across Forton tower in the middle of Lancashire and wonder at its meaning - in Planet of the Apes type thingy. Probably! "

MJE JP5 controls except that the winch and bin lifter controls are set up abit diffrent to the standard JP5s which have the winch controlled by a leaver next to manual pack. Took abit of getting used to this set up as the bin lifter handle on the right wouldn’t sit at neutral properly so you’d be driving down the road and the lifter would start raising by itself.
