Managed to "finish" the mounting base I've been building this weekend, for mounting our digitizing arm in arbitrary positions in and around a car. It actually needs a lot of improvements (lockable ball joints being one of the most important), but for the moment we have it set up in the engine bay of the Mazda 3, and it appears to be stable enough to provide reasonably good measurement data.
Yep, pretty ghetto. Those are indeed Vise-grip C clamps welded to the ends, and the rest of the apparatus is made from aluminum plate and extruded aluminum L-channel. Aaron admitted he didn't think it was going to work :o) |
