ClapTrap

Autonomous Robot

Named after the robot from boarderlandswith every intention of putting a top hat on it.

This is a much more long term project than anything else i am working on. The current state of claptrap is still in the very early stages of development as can be seen by the photos. I have a working base for the project made out of lego which has proved to be a great testbed for this kind of project, with the ability to swap out parts in almost no time it makes testing of new ideas very quick and easy.

Home Automation

Automating everyday tasks to free up time for the important stuff.

Another long term project. The aim is not to have a home that you have to control but something that will pick up on what you would need and adjust.
