#259 Tightropes and Squirrel Suits

#258 Cleaning Runways

Have you ever wondered how to clean a runway? If you answered yes then please change your answer to no. If no then me neither. But it brought up some interesting ideas. I enjoyed this one. Hosted by M. Boer and S.Schekman on 10 Dec 2024

#257 Nothing against cats

To clarify no cats have been harmed in the consideration of this topic. All options should be considered but that doesn't mean you need to go to the prototype stage with every option - especially in this case. I really do actually like cats. Hosted by M. Boer and S.Schekman on 10 Dec 2024

#256 Pogo Go-Go

Let's discuss the pogo stick. See it as an abstract critical evaluation - maybe not always on topic or sensible but then again other than lectures when are we on topic or sensible? Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on 31 October 2024

#255 You broke us

In a hypothetical universe we decided to use the 3rd year mech designs and well it did not end well. Now how are we going to explore the rainforest for the annual trip that we do to find new ideas for design projects? Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on 31 October 2024

#254 Train of the Phoenix

Another spitballing type episode. Boer gives a situation and let's see what we can do about a solution. I think I am seeing some potential for a 3rd year project in all this... Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on 3rd October 2024

#253 Navigation without landmarks

All based on an idea I had one morning that I could not figure out a good answer for. Not sure I think what we arrived at was a good answer either but an interesting way of considering the influence of our own perspectives on how we view solutions. Hosted by M. Boer and S. Schekman on the 3rd October 2024

#252-November

Who would have thought that November has such a heritage for cool ideas and designs being published. Not in undergrad mind you - not even I am that optimistic but at least in history. Also we start intending to talk about this and actually finish talking about it as well! Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on 19 September 2024
