 Recently my wife and I met some mentors from Michigan with their wives at Disney World. It seems that I'm not the only mentor who needs to bribe their wives with vacations before they sign up to mentor FRC for another year... - Mark Holschuh [more] |

Re: Dean on 60 Minutes
Many people (myself included) do not keep "Dean's Inventions" on their portal. It's not a very well trafficked forum. I debated whether I should post here in general or not and I don't think it's a terrible thing to have it here as well.

Re: Dean on 60 Minutes
I saw the promo, and they ran the same story a few months ago. He's developing prosthetic arms/hands for people who have lost theirs, I think more especially for former military members.

Re: Dean on 60 Minutes
I've seen tons of stuff on the Luke Arm, did a project on it for one of my classes, gotta love it, it's these sort of inventions that make me tell everyone that Dean is the person my kids will be reading about in the history books

Re: Dean on 60 Minutes
I walked down in the middle of 60 minutes. I thought for sure I'd missed his part, but it turned out otherwise. Excellent program, and a great story of the sort of amazing achievements that can be born from engineering.

Re: Dean on 60 Minutes
There actually was a prosthetic leg called the Power Knee featured in the segment, that has a similar class of capability as the Luke Arm.
More info about the Power Knee can be found here: http://www.ossur.com/bionictechnology/powerknee Videos of the Power Knee in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUBaYs8Y7F4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NhQm...eature=related There are other similar devices as well such as the C-leg
