Day 169 of 1000

Lego NXT tire inspectionIn my day job, I am working on a product that performs three dimensional scans of all kinds of stuff with a product called a Gocator made by a company in British Columbia named LMI.  There are a ton of tire companies around here that want to look at their tires with 3D machine vision, so we needed a demo.  Christian came to the rescue by building up a tire presentation system with his Lego NXT set.  It works great.  The tires that came with the kit have tread and raised lettering on the sidewalls, just like real tires.

It works like a champ.  I will talk to my boss this afternoon about buying two or three sets to use for demos.  Maybe I can get Christian a job building demo stuff for us!
