Design Notebook 1994 These are a few of the more finished pages an old notebook. The projects include: A cane which can expand its base in unsure terrain. Even when expanded, it is nearly as slim as a normal cane, but it leans more towards a walker in terms of support. Psychological impact and variablity were important considerations. My 2.70 machine. Built from a box of provided materials and actuators, this machine fits within 30x30x30cm when collapsed and plays "robosoccer".

A sketch of the expanded cane and some examples of use.	Some desciptions of the extra legs may be mounted.
An elevation indicating how the arm of my machine moved when lobbing a soccerball.
