Hi guys

Have not been online for a while due to having to clear out my mother's home, as she has had to go into an aged hostel. 52 years of accumulated stuff is frightening and a huge and time consuming task to sort out and clear.

Anyway, my entry to NASA Tech Briefs “Create the Future design contest” has met the qualification requirements for the contest. It is the only mobility device in the contest, so far, but there are other interesting inventions in the competition that may be of interest to WCJ people.

Cheers to all.

Interesting chair, Colin. A combination of several exciting innovations. It's pretty rare for me to get excited with new chair concepts (so many of them just don't work). This looks good and a great legacy of your experience and design skill. Best of luck for the competition, I hope your entry gets the attention for you to progress it to the next stage.

you thought of a lot of funtionability most might overlook. Good luck in the competition, I hope you do well.
