UT Create-A-Thon - March 2019
Our proposal for our motorized roller-skates, "Wheelie up to Speed", was accepted to a weekend-long Create-a-Thon. We needed to submit a Bill of Materials 2 weeks in advance before the event itself featuring 48 hours of work time and access to heat guns, bandsaws, drill presses, laser cutters, 3-D printers, and more. The result: still in progress but so far a functioning set of roller skates getting motor-ed up to rock and roll!
