Our mission is to create new and compelling technologies by combining modern design techniques and 21st century fabrication equipment. We are an organization of passionate engineers who are independently driven to design, build, and tinker. We grew from a private laboratory for the development of electric vehicle power electronics and related robotic systems into a full engineering design and product development firm with a broad range of equipment and capabilities. We continue to produce novel electronics and robotics, but our principal business focus is engineering development and service for a diverse clientèle.
We are maintained by a core team of engineers on consistent basis, but also expand into a network of consultants and partner companies to meet the technical demands and scheduling of a given project. Our unique, flexible nature allows us to keep overhead low and offer exception value to jobs large or small.
Daniel Bodenstein, BSME, CSWP
Dan is an engineer with an understanding of engineering in the real world. This stems from a fusion of studies in both mechanical engineering and political science and a passion for project management. He enjoys the process of writing patents and navigating the complex landscape of production management.
A passionate scuba diver and photographer for over a decade, Dan was honored to be awarded the Our World Underwater Scholarship Society Ocean Engineering Internship in 2007 further expanding his experience in extreme-environment system design and testing. His ‘can-do, will-do’ attitude comes from his hobby of restoring or separately radically modernizing vintage vehicles and a commitment to getting it done right. Through his ongoing volunteer efforts on production teams for educational programming television and documentaries, Dan has gleaned a valuable understanding in optics and lighting system design. He is an IEEE member, a Certified Solidworks Professional and holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
John English, BSME, CSWP
John is an engineer with diverse experience in both mechanical and electrical engineering. Always an avid cyclist, John first became interested in human-assisted electric vehicle development while at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and upon moving to Boulder in 2006 set to work designing and building electric motor controllers for more effective regenerative braking. This interest continued to grow, assimilating other skills and technologies leading to the study of embedded power electronics and multi-objective optimization driven design.
John is a contributing member to several ongoing open-source initiatives pertaining to 3D modeling, simulation and machine control software. He is an IEEE member, a Certified Solidworks Professional and holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
