Robotic arm

If you know me personally you understand how hectic my life has become. Grace, my daughter, is an incredible motivational force in my life. Her presence and love has driven me to work a full time job, pursue the completion of my BA at a full time pace, and to wake up every morning at or before sunrise in order to spend some quality time with her. In attempting this life style I have run up against the limits my body has to offer. With the inspiration of wanting to do more for and with my daughter I plan to extend my body, and it's limits with a device of my own authoring. I am in the research and planning stages currently, but I have tremendous support of my professors and am determined to make it a reality. I share in this post the beginnings of this project. First is a three dimensional model produced in Google Sketchup. I will include information I uncover in my research and more details about the plans later but I was too excited not to share my model having just figured out how to embed it. If anyone has trouble viewing it please leave a comment and let me know about it.
