Collin's Lab: Kit-making

When recently faced with the dauntingly tedious task of assembling my first-ever batch of electronics kits, I was lucky enough to have the ever-helpful eye of seasoned kit-maker Becky Stern close by. While observing my one-man assembly 'process', Becky advised a more efficient, modular assembly line technique using intermediary storage vessels better known as "plastic cups". Streamlining the process left me with plenty of time to cook up some some unusually fancy title/motion graphics for the above-seen video.

Great music

[hollaink]

I agree!

This guy is great. Funny. Interesting. Keeps you watching. :D

"transistor", MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET

It's not all l that big a deal for simple passives and most components are not going to be killed. I do recommend some paper cups if your worried about.ESD .

LOL I thought about the cup thing before they annouced it in the video. I was like dont do it that way Colin you are gonna forget some pieces. Then Becky came over and I was like "thats what I said". HA

Collin's Lab is Great! Make More!

Everybody's got a better way... cool video. I'm guessing that music track was produced by your Midi Vox arduino shield kit? Hopefully you put it on Makershed because I've been waiting to use my GC... for something new and cool.
