Hello everybody my name is Jesse Kissel. I live in New Zealand.
I have browsed some of the projects that have been posted and visited the forums, and I see that this community of builders and others are very encouraging and supportive, which I feel is a great place to be in for a newcomer like me.
My teacher @Tameion and I will be working on a project to make a robot arm for a fellow students' wheelchair.
Working in this forum will be part of my assessment evidence so I look forward to your interaction.

Welcome! can't wait to see what you come up with!
Hey!......Greetings Jesse! This forum is awesome with a wide range of ages and robotic experiances! All are very polite and generous with what they know. Post your progress pics and any cool ideas you have!
Welcome to EZ Robot Jessie! ( ya know this really must be the most friendly robotics community around!)
I took some measurements on the wheelchair and designed this thing on Sketch-up, then made it with the 3D printer.
Edit: I am having trouble hotlinking images..
@just build it why don't you just upload the image...
Hey Jesse....
Look for the words Attach File at the bottom right of the page and chose your file then click upload.
You will see a line of text that looks like the line below without all the spaces [ i m g ] / u p l o a d s / M o v i n g _ h o u s e . j p g . s c a l e d 5 0 7 6 4 9 [ / i m g ]
Your image should appear once you have saved your post..... I have tested it here with this image on team work!

So this was the object in the makerware program.
And here it is fitting into the wheelchair.

It is a good tight fit.Awesome Jesse....
I particularly want to see how this is going to interface with the ARC hardware/software. I would love to see some more pictures or even a video please...
