The Creepy Crawler
Format
SOECS Senior Project Demonstration
Abstract/Artist Statement
Within the last year my father started a home inspection company. One task that has become increasing tiresome is inspecting underneath the house. There were times before when we were just doing construction that we had to go underneath the house but now it is a task that occurs much more. After many hours of crawling underneath houses inspecting them and looking for reportable conditions we starting thinking that there had to be a way to make it easier on ourselves. We started brainstorming and came up with the idea similar to what a automobile mechanic might use when working under a car – something to lay on with wheels that you can maneuver on without having to crawl shimmy or wiggle your way under the car (house in our case). And thus the Creepy Crawler was born... It is a device which will be controlled by a remote device and have the following functions: forward right left and reverse. My presentation with include a prototype which will implement the proposed functions.
