Enjoyed touring Haas Automation today. We're local to each other and it was awesome to see American manufacturing at its finest.

Pretty typical assembly factory layout.

I used to do robot end of arm tool design so it was cool to see automated manufacturing implemented.

Another Throwback

Another Throwback

It's been a week of meetings so far so in place of some fresh content, lets do a throwback to 2007/8. This was for a brushless quadcopter design I was developing way before the 'drone' market exploded. Might show some more of this in the future.
