Gadget Show Live 2010 :: Festo - carbon fibre muscular tubing
Quote:
Ok, so Festo shows off their carbon fibre "muscular" tubing may not be very 'gadgety' but when it's this much fun, who cares?
Watch the show.

Wow! :D
Now that looks fun.
But there's a few questions I'd like to ask:
1) Is that ever gonna be available to us?
2) How is it set up and linked to the game?
3) When can I come and have a go? ;)

The tubes... Yes
The chair.. Nope :( - He said it was just for demo purposes.

I wish I knew. Maybe there's someone under the chair controlling it all with comedy sized levers.

Re: Gadget Show Live 2010 :: Festo - carbon fibre muscular tubing
A mech eng housemate of mine at uni was using these (can't remember if they were Festo or not) to create a prototype of a knee brace exoskeleton, the intention of which was to assist with exercises for knee injury patients.
It was pretty cool stuff - the PWM'd air valves were quite noisy though.

Would love to get that chair setup along with 3 screens - the ultimate racing chair :)
The remote controlled penguin on the other hand... not quite so useful!
