Hi everyone
I'm a final year Mechatronics Engineering student, and I'm about to begin my capstone project: a ball-balancing robot.
I chose this project because it represents one of the simplest physical examples of a deeply difficult problem... stabilizing an unstable system in real time.
Systems like this don't forgive hesitation. Every delay, every imperfect reading, every small mistake in logic shows up immediately as instability. That's exactly why I chose it.
My interest in control systems comes largely from aerospace. Vehicles like Falcon 9 and Starship rely entirely on their ability to continuously sense, decide, and correct themselves to remain stable in environments that don't tolerate error.
This project is my first real step into understanding those principles beyond theory.
To be honest, I'm no expert... I'm just starting.
Ultimately, my goal is to work with engineers at @SpaceX someday... to contribute to systems where precision, stability, and feedback are mission critical.
This project is how I begin preparing myself for that journey.
Day 0... And so help me God, amen!
P.S. Can I get some advice? @elonmusk @BrentM_SpaceX @SpaceX @Starlink @michaelnicollsx
he’s prolly won the open innovation track already
his site was super helpful in having an idea of what was been built
I'm officially throwing my hat in the ring entering #NEARhackathon with NEAR Hunt - the Product Hunt for NEAR
NEAR Hunt is the place to discover ALL hackathon submissions (2200+), have discussion and upvote.
Cool features:
- Authenticate with Near.social profile
- Claim project with Github OAuth
- Give a skill.md file to your agent ;)
- Open Data: no smart contracts(!). Just Key-value rows on a NEAR account calling fast data_kv
Live now: nearhunt.xyz

the hardest part of being a builder or creator is spending 99 out of 100 days just brainstorming what to create, what to build, and how to go about it
sometimes, you never even figure shi’ out

i made three little delivery bots fail in public
it's called Fiasco. You bet on which AI courier finishes its run and which one dies in the road. Chips and payouts live on NEAR testnet
built at NEAR HACKATHON @NEARProtocol #NEARHackathon
play at: fiasco.onrender.com
code is open if you want to poke at it. The contract rechecks every bet against the price curve, and each round's map comes from a NEAR block hash

<-> I (we) built an AI companion for the community I'm building in Africa.
Not a wrapper. A desktop teammate that knows
who you are and what you're working on.
It's called CC , and it's the first
🤖 Made with AI
so I built Returnly for the @builderio hackathon
you know how you buy something, then it breaks, and you end up chasing the store?
well, returnly gives you and the merchant one place to sort it out, with an AI assistant helping along the way
try it: returnly-nu.vercel.app/
you could ask the assistant to prepare a claim, then open it and carry on yourself
the store can review it, offer a replacement and book the visit
you still get to approve what gets sent

is it not crazy how a service you pay for can crash for a period, and you get nothing back?
got tired of it and built UpHeld at Vibeathon 02
here, providers lock usdc on base for uptime, and if they go down, your refund unlocks on its own

Just got selected for sponsored Claude premium account
Ha… quite the moral booster, I must say
Let’s get the building started!
Update:
Started working on the @builderio hackathon
and just registered for the @vibestarterxyz hackathon too
Okayyyy… oh hi everyone, been a really long long while
So this project kept me away for the most part, but even after I was done… I couldn’t exactly figure out the best way to return lol
Anyways, I’m almost done with the research paper… soooo Yh

I’ve been able to also upload the project code to GitHub (subject to some few changes tho)
github.com/darkfallX/ball-ba…
Aerospace engineering still remains the direction I want to grow in. I’d love feedback on the project from engineers at @SpaceX @LockheedMartin @northropgrumman

One year ago, a beacon was lit.☄️ Today, it shines among the stars. ✨
Happy 1st Anniversary, Pharos!! Here's to illuminating the future of RealFi and beyond. 🥂
My second NFT submission
created with @AnvitaFlow for #PharosAgentCarnival on @pharos_network
#PharosStoryteller
How much time do you even pour into video editing?😭😭😭
You really have been my source of motivation lately 😭❤️
Officially announcing my content role with @xora_finance 🎉
Decided to cook an introduction to Xora video as kickoff
