Swiss Cow Head Laser Distance Probe
"Moooooooo" project is still on course........
Basic idea is to attach the Head to a Theo Jansen four legged chassis blogged here.......
Had some great fun creating a PolyMorph Cows Head.
Using a Skinning technique i could make a really thin layer of PolyMorph.
This means that it is amazingly Translucent - for adding lights.
In the Picture above you can see its secret laser system.
The Proposed Idea is So ......
- Green Eyes ------- "Safe Mode" - Open Jaw wide
- Red Eyes "Danger Mode" means the Laser is about to fire
- There will be a Wii-Remote camera installed to watch the Laser
- Laser scans left and right making a note of left-most position and Right-most position
- Amber Eyes -------"Safe Mode and calculate Distance" closing Jaw at same time
- Right-most position minus Left-Most position gives a finite value.
- This finite value will be translated into Distance from object/wall/hedge/milking parlour
- Distance Info. will steer the legs out of danger.............

Luxeon Laser Leds Needed
Request :-
Can the Dagu Bods design a "Luxeon Laser Led" - (-; i would have "Herds" of projects that would require them ;.)
Failing that how about a "Pulsed" Laser circuit ...... 1 Amp would surfice .....evil grin.....
BTW it locks onto "Milka Chocolate Bars" (Swiss people eat 12Kilos/year.....could be onto a good thing here)

Laser Grass Cutter
The Swiss Purple Milka Cows are a placid breed - compared to the British ones (i had a bad experience once)
The most dangerous thing this beasty will do is Precision laser cut your lawn :-) ........
........ or melt the wheels off the office chair .......
