Rehab1 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I found this awesome story where some guys mounted a custom painter sprayer with an electronic interface to the bottom of their skateboards. They then rode their skateboards around this blank palette of a pool shell to create some stunning geometric shapes and patterns. This is a photo of the sprayer mounted beneath the skateboard. The sprayer is controlled with a wireless transmitter. I thought to myself why can’t this exciting technolgy be adapted to an EUC? We certainly can weave in and out and spin geometric circles with our EUCs. But to make colorful creative designs that prople can see and appreciate will require a similar type of paint sprayer. Being that I love challenges I have been working on my own custom sprayer unit that is being fitted to my Mten3. It will have wireless RC circuitry designed to operate a solenoid switch that will engage the sprayer on demand. The system will run on 12v. With the remaining parts arriving in a few days I hope to be painting by Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Um, although I admire the spirit and innovative thinking, we call this sort of thing "vandalism" or "graffiti" or "drunkin' ghetto spyrographing" in these parts. Still, it does tempt me to don a backpack tank with yellow paint to make me some custom EUC riding lanes on the main roads while on my Tesla!

Am I the only who immediately thought that upon reading this post? I take it you dislike Starbuck’s coffee. Drawing a penis is not on my agenda but I’m sure some of my rudimentary drawings will contain unanticipated sexual overtures. 3 hours ago, Marty Backe said: I love your mad scientist experiments Thanks @Marty Backe.

You could easily get away with your yellow graffiti lines since the volumes of daily Canadian snow will quickly dissipate any evidence.

Unfortunately for the worker painting traffic lines will eventually be performed by an unmanned machine with GPS guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidestreet Reny Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Some might define creativity as having the power to create. But what is created? Is it something entirely new? Or is it something that is, well, simply refined and modified? Either way, how does one arrive at one’s creation? Ya do it by creating a new reality, doin something for the first time and or by doing it somewhere it ain't been done before...Imo. Round "these parts" we call it ART. .

Rehab1 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 The Mten sprayer is coming along. I’ve installed a 12 V solenoid to activate the sprayer. My wireless remote control relay was defective so once a new one arrives on Wednesday it should ready to go. With snow arriving it should be fun riding around on the lawn creating ugly art.

Maybe if you rode very far from home and weren't exactly paying attention, you could then find your way back by just following your mess! Then others could also follow you home and perhaps bitch you out for painting up their sidewalks and bushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool. BTW, I notice that this is mounted to the 'front' of your wheel. When you actually use it you're going to ride backward I assume otherwise I hate to see what happens to the tire and insides of the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
