Minotaur Project – Reverse Engineering (feat Cobus Potgieter on drums)


Song freely downloadable from the facebook page of the Minotaur Project: www.facebook.com (click on the BandPage application on the left). The story of this video is that Cobus Potgieter, who first gave me the idea to make videos of my songs came out with a “songwriting challenge” (sort of…), in which he proposed his drum-only tracks to be used to create a new, original song. I made a song for that (Synthetic Minotaur), and when I saw how well it was recieved, I decided to make two more, this is the last one of them. Without writing too much I’d like to add a personal note to the song: I chose this track because of the dynamics. I started two times recording ideas on the drums, now I have about 4 different half-empty projects files with ideas thrown into the trashcan. I thought about this song almost 24/7 in the last two weeks, even started to plan it before Planet Unrealm. It was probably the most difficult track to date I have composed on, mainly because the choruses are not the top parts of the song. It was amazing planning something like this. So, writing was about three complete days (if we count only the useful parts), filming and cutting the video was one another. I managed to move to a new (much bigger) flat during the process, hence the new spot for the studio. The original song was 30 seconds to Mars’ Vox Populi. The subject of my song is (sort of) an answer to Vox Populi. The title (Reverse Engineering) is quite obvious, but the appearance of Kilgore Trout

What is a simple yet interesting gadget for a reverse engineering project?

I am in an engineering class where my team will need to take apart a simple gadget, analyze it, and reverse engineer it. Basically, I need some simple gizmo that we can use for this project. Examples he gave: wench, doorknob, scale.

Anybody have any good ideas.

I’ll give 10 points to the answer we use, or at least the best one. Thanks everyone in advance!

What are some easy reverse engineering project ideas that work?

This is for project lead the way.

Thank you very much for the help.

I need a reverse engineering project?

For a class I am doing, I need something that I can reverse engineer. Something that is small and pretty simple. I just need some ideas to get me going, it has to be mechanical so if anyone has some ideas, it would be appreciated.

Macomb College Green-T Project: Reverse Engineering


Reverse Engineering a Transmission Tunnel: After hand fabricating a transmission tunnel for the 1923 T-bucket, it was reverse engineered to produce one with an improved shape and to be able to mass produce small quantities. The model was scanned using a handheld scanner reading 26000 points per second. The point cloud was used to develop a CAD solid model to be used as the math model for CNC machining the styrofoam pattern. The machined pattern was used to layup the fiberglass mold.

What machine from my house can I bring to school for doing reverse Engineering?

It has to be break a part later but has to be put back together after the project’s done.
It has to have 8 parts.
What kind of machine should I bring for this project without breaking it later?

If you’re a system designer do you need tools to reverse engineer a “specification” from released code ?

Running with that idea, would Collins submarine project need an engine that could be fed programs and the engine could trace back to individuals who actually contributed to / detracted from the project ?

For example you’d feed the engine a copy of your software and the engine might say “Madycki – did good work in 1986″ and people might look at the printout of this and say “Madycki – better try to get him for our next project, he’s good value”.
