University of Waterloo - 4th Year Mechatronics Engineering Project - TOWEL REVOLUTION

[xcaliber61]

@amtriplekkk for most projects all supplies are provided or you're given a decent budget. This video is for a 4th year design project, so we were only given a limited amount for each member in the group and the rest is up to us to find sponsors. It's as close as it gets to designing something in the real world and trying to get funding from investors

hey, do you know how difficult it is to maintain a 80% average? I'm planning on going into tron, then the ivey double degree. what is the class average of a typical year in tron anyway?

[xcaliber61]

@THISNAMEOWNS class average is typically around a 75, if you get an 80 you'll likely be in top 40 of the class

That's pretty slow....I think this "machine" would be an even greater bottleneck LOL

I'm pretty sure I can fold 5 towels in the same time :P

Cool stuff though

I just got my acceptance offer for UW Electrical Engineering...

>Checked this video

>Daft Punk

Just because of this video, and the one song, I know I am going to the right university.

[neivin93]

cool, but my friends tron project was way better lol

[thelastwords]

wow that's great

[ThePintoAce]

awsome

pretty creative

[amerist]

I like your mechanism for flattening the towel. That's pretty smart.

[n0y0x]

omg cant wait to go to UW next year XD

[oXiaoLi]

agreed.

[lilslant]

you spelled "verification" wrong!

[xcaliber61]

@lilslant yea I know =( lol it was pretty late when i made this

[xcaliber61]

This project is 8 months in the making! It's not meant to be a marketable idea, there are still a lot of flaws but it's a prototype that demonstrates the potential in having a completely automated towel folding solution.

@xcaliber61 and what would that be?
