Hey blog readers!
I hope you had a great 4th of July last weekend–I certainly did, and I’ve got some updates to share!
Starting off strong, I’ve continued to dig into the world of big data science, and I’ve been exploring some tools that other institutions and entities have made for robotics and similar projects. The good news is their solutions are offering guidance on what ours should look like, but the neutral news is that their solutions aren’t going to work for our solution!
I’ve been putting together a presentation to share my research and findings with the rest of the Sentry software team, and I’ll be presenting that this Thursday to receive feedback and input on my proposed architecture design. To give you an idea of the type of thing I am talking about, here is a quick mockup of a possible solution’s architecture.
The other really exciting thing that happened this week isn’t exactly to do with Sentry, but it was inspired by it. Being around big, awesome, deep sea vehicles really gets you inspired. So inspired, in fact, that you may even become the owner of a vehicle yourself–for your own tinkering and scientific experiments of course.
This past weekend I picked up a deep cherry red 1975 Honda CB200 motorcycle.
I drove a moving truck 100 miles, on a 6 hour drive that should have taken me 2 hours, through peak 4th of July traffic to retrieve such a treasure and I’ll say it was completely worth it. Here’s a picture of the motorcycle when I picked it up.
And here are some comparison pictures on my first maintenance project; de-rusting and revitalizing the front suspension forks.
This small beast definitely has a lot of work left, but no worries because I don’t even know how to drive a motorcycle yet. All in good time!
Chat you later,
Steph
