Tonight was the annual Engineering Night at the University of Vermont. All the seniors were there showing off their end of year capstone projects. It was magnificent !<\/p>\n

Gabe spent a few minutes lookign around with me util he had to run off and take a test… Heres \u00a0a project some of his friends did.. very cool way to help train nordic skiers.. they created instrumented ski polls. \u00a0they embedded strain gauges in both poles. and fed those into a n arduino with wireless link in each handle.. they would then measure the stress on both poles and report if the skier was favoring one side or another.. The skier got an audible clue in her\/his ear to tell them that they were favoring one side<\/p>\n
