How to Make Mechanical 7 Segment Display from Cardboard
In today's video I want to show you 7 segment display with unique machenism that is our own invention. There are 7 circles inside. Each circle has it's own trigger that read circle program and responds for opening/closing specific segment. Full assembly instructions are includede in the video!
This is well done...Materials you need: cardbaord, paper, rubber bands, springs and popsicle sticks. Enjoy :)
"Parallax's customers have been asking for a Propeller Multicore version of the SumoBot. We plan on using the same chassis design with a new board on top, with the FLiP Multicore Module. This will be entirely programmable in BlocklyProp. The robots will be sold in pairs, of course. Once we get these prototype PCBs built we'll share some features, get your feedback, and move a step closer to production."
"The engineering community has been working for decades to increase the representation of women in universities and in the profession, but progress has been slow. In the United States, just 21 percent of engineering bachelor’s degrees go to women, and only 11 percent of practicing engineers are women. While the problem is complex, we must recognize that one significant factor is sexual harassment, which creates hostile education and work environments and pushes women out of the field."
