The EFX Show - Full Show Video!

This took quite a while before it was ready to be released publicly, but here it is! A video of my full performance, The EFX Show which was presented at the Republic Polytechnic's "Grand Magic Show" 2012.

Usually when I release a full video, it means something new is on the way *wink* *wink*!

Kiki's Robotic Table Project v3.5

My Robotic Table Version 3.5
** GEEK ALERT **

This is a blogpost to share with the electronics/robotics community. If you are curious, read on!

This project of mine had gone a long way with several builds and rebuilds. Now it's at version 3.5!
Check out the video!



Attracting attention wherever it goes!

I'm using a new modular system as supporting frames. The extra weight requires more power so I decided to make this new version an 8-wheel system. 

Servo system that drives the door sequence!

Final prototype!

The entire project requires heavy current, so I used a 2650mAh 3S 30C Lipo battery with a 8A UBEC as a power regulator.

Prototype Prototype!!

Looks better with skirting! This is just temporary, my next upgrade should make it look a whole lot better!

Version 4 is going to be exciting! I'm adding a pneumatic system, Arduino programmed LEDs as well as a smoke delivery system! Watch out for it!

Debut of my new laser show!

Last weekend I debuted the show I've been working hard on, a show that combines all my passion of LEDs, Lasers & Electronics...

Presenting

THE EFX SHOW!

28th October, the show debuted for two events in one night, 

The SME1 Asia Awards & The RHB Bank's 50th Anniversary Event

This show gave me the opportunity to put all my electronic skills to work, from costume to the "magical" handheld lasers and the remotely activated "laser stars" background you see in the picture, all came from an idea to reality through hours of designing, re-designing, soldering, getting burned, getting electrocuted (many times), and almost getting blind from staring straight into lasers powerful enough to burn concrete! All that said, the show is still far from what I had in mind. Still working on turning some incredible ideas into reality! Look out for it!

Special thanks to all the heroes behind the scenes whom had helped turn this dream into a reality! Everybody at Glorious Singapore, Arthur, Adam, Jason and especially Alan, who dedicated countless hours of his time programming, reprogramming and fine-tuning the laser sequences during his busy work schedule! 

More photos, videos, in-depth look and behind-the-scenes footages coming! Check back soon for more updates!
