Testing RC Dolly

A test film to see how the device will function once complete. The site is the Loft of Chelsea College of Art and Design.

Finding the context that will be projected through my devices goes side by side with the design process. How do I explore spaces using my rigs? What are similar devices used for!

My understanding  for the context:

NASA Rover:

 Bomb Disposal Robots:

Experimental ideas from film as measure symposium

After the symposium I got super excited and went back to the market fishing for new idea's to import into my practice.

Change the wheels!

I started off by getting rid of the plastic wheels from the RC Car. I modified the axel to support my new wheels and hoped for a steadier grip with less shakiness on the floor.

So I decided to work with my design and I moved forward with some initial design ideas and unbelievable amounts of planning.
