The Projects of Prototype This PyroPack

摘要

Prototype This- an engineering entertainment program on Discovery Channel- offered a view into the real-life process of designing and building unique, sometimes crazy prototypes. The 13 episode series was filmed over the course of 18 months and aired starting back in October '08. Re-runs are currently being shown around the world, so be sure to check out the program!rnI was the team's electrical engineer and hardware hacker, and shared the screen with Zoz Brooks, a roboticist and software designer specializing in human-machine interaction; Mike North, a material scientist and mechanica engineer; and Terry Sandin, a special effects veteran. We were challenged to build things that had never been done before, looked cool on TV, and could be completed within the extremely tight financial and time constraints of television production, all the while being followed around by a camera.
