To cap off the collaborative work with Northwestern University over the Spring 2016 semester, we followed up with a group of students from ME 329, a mechanical engineering capstone course. We asked the team's project manager, Tim Stead, along with teammates Andy Schneider and Leo Deng, to join us in the studio for a live demonstration and brief interview.
