UCLA Idea Hack - FlexOff
UCLA Idea Hack - FlexOff
Embedded Files
The UCLA Idea Hack was a 36 hour event where groups of up to 5 people created a product that pertained to various event categories. My group of 3 designed FlexOff, a fitness product that gamifies exercise. Over the course of a short 36 hours we managed to iterate through multiple mechanical designs, plan an electrical system, and code and integrate all components to create a cohesive product. And we got 2nd place overall :)
CAD Assembly of single axis gantry
Full CAD concept w/essential components CADed within 3 hours
Bearingless dovetail slider joint that functioned smoothly without any post processing
Preliminary mechanical assembly
Adapted duct tape to use as a belt
Stepper motor for accurate slider control
High and low friction pulleys to compensate for lack of bearings and belt
Completed FlexOff Product
Utilized EMG sensor for muscle activation readings
Gesture sensor for levels, game mode, and start/stop function
FlexOff in Action
Whoever activates their muscles more intensely/ consistently will attract the LED slider
First to make the LED slider reach their end of the rail wins!
