 Engineering is so much easier when you give all the components personalities. Then you just watch the drama unfold and try to fix it. - EricVanWyk [more] |

Our idea of fun in the off season is take the already cramped lab and turn it into a little slice of paradise. Ahhhhh. mini-golf. one of life's many pleasures. We used our ramp for the incline; a colson wheel, some sprockets, a mallet, and some 80/20 for obstacles.

<Real Caption> What 1712 members really do with their time when they should be next door helping the team leader mount a newly manufactured chain guard and having driver practice for IRI. </Real Caption>
That'll teach me to send anyone for a tool.

You know, this sounds like an interesting fundraiser for teams. Clear out the old storage closet and assemble a golf course. Sink a hole in one, win a T-shirt! (And, of course, buttons all-around to get the word out.)

You should power some of those wheels. 
Now that would be interesting.
If you have a LOT of spare time, (which I assume you do) you could move away from golf and into pinball. Imagine all the crazy contraptions you could make with last years KOP!

Can anyone say, Green Indoor Mini-golf playing surface for next year? How do those Colson wheels grip on that material? Anyone test a wedgetop on it? And we thought the diamond plate would be hard to drive up, ha!
