One of our members supports theatre projects with custom technical gadgets. This unusual-looking device recently received an update: it is a remote-controlled vehicle equipped with moving-head LED lights for creating special effects.

A particularly useful feature is its direct support for DMX, the protocol commonly used to control lighting equipment in theatre productions.

One of our member build a small turret orchestra inspired by Portal 2.

Each turret is driven by a solenoid switched through a solid state relay. Conductive copper strips and 3D printed spring contacts make the units hot-swappable, while a Pi plays a MIDI file and the original audio at the same time, triggering each turret based on its assigned note.

One of our members built a 3D printed Battle/Death Racer. If you haven't heard of them: Death Racers are small motorized vehicles where the goal is to knock the hat off the other rider's figure. The more racers, the better the duels.

Now he just needs a few more makers to build their own so the battles can finally begin.

Some impressions from our last Open Doors Day, with a wide range of offerings and lots of demo projects on display.

It was a great chance to show what the lab is about, share ideas, and give visitors a look at what we build and explore together.

After our recent hot sauce tasting, a member organized the next food challenge at the lab: an olive oil tasting. The goal was to find the best oil and put a classic assumption to the test, whether the more expensive oils are always the tastier ones.

The verdict? A very exclusive oil took the top spot, one that a member brings back directly from Italy on vacation. So if you want some, better let him know before his next trip.

The Energy for Ukraine team uses our workshop to recycle battery cells into rugged powerbanks for Ukraine's unstable power regions. Custom 3D prints with special filament, USB lights and LED displays make them tech highlights. Great for our members' battery recycling interests.
