Other

• The Wedge (MPEG 270KB). This work was performed at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in the Mechanical Engineering Department under Prof. Ping Hsu. Prof. Ping Hsu is now at San Jose State University. The work was performed with 6 other undergraduates. We designed the controlled system to balance on its edge by moving sliding masses.
