Wireless PlayStation 2 Controlled Electric Mountainboard
I first started working on this project in November 2009 when I tried to figure out how to get around campus without having to push myself on a skateboard. After months of researching and designing, I resolved to start the project because I wanted it to result in a real product rather than a jumble of ideas. I began assembling the project in February 2010 and got it working just in time to demo at Engineering Open House on March 10th, 2010.
