A compilation of photos of parts, testing, manufacturing, and the team throughout the design and build process.


Azalea Grant, gloating that she made that pulley even though SOMEONE didn't think she could. We never used that pulley anyways. An initial 3-D printed system, tried it a couple times. It was so cute! The second pulley that Azalea Grant made, to the chagrin of everybody who didn't believe her. Hannah Rentschler, having a grand old time in the space-age stripper boots. Robert Libby and Azalea Grant getting frustrated or something probably. The CNC'd cutouts of the L-bracket, these were then chipped out of the sheet and bent to make the finished product! The final L-bracket, with a bearing, shaft, and hinge attached. Robert Libby, wearing a very very early prototype of our final design. Front view of Hannah Rentschler wearing the final exoskeleton. The second-to-last prototype of the final exoskeleton. Robert Libby and Brandon Begay having a fun time, trying to put the exoskeleton on for testing. Robert Libby and Brandon Begay doing something mysterious in the machine shop. Azalea Grant having fun wearing the exoskeleton, while Robert Libby contemplates his life choices. Oof that's an old design. Thats from when we were trying to use what we already had with our final concept. The entire team, all together, doing some benchtop testing. Left to right: Robert Libby, Ethan Michel, Brandon Begay, Azalea Grant. Hannah Rentschler modeling an early prototype at a 30 degree equinus angle. Azalea Grant showing off the final, completed design. There was some fun music involved with this picture. Initial prototype of final design. We needed something thrown together so Robert Libby could start testing controls. Second prototype of final design.
