<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Stories about success often focus on the end result -- the big win that makes all those pesky failures along the way have meaning. But for makers, the failures are just as important -- sometimes even more so -- than the end result, because of what was learned along the way.<br/><br/>In our cover story, we follow a group of friends who set out to send an autonomous boat across the Atlantic a decade ago. Their boat never made it, but that failure set them on a course to launch their own startup for self-navigating vessels. And they give you tips on building your own!<br/><br/>From there, get busy building by using the principles of tension and symmetry to make an impossible tensegrity planter. Then, update a classic Magic 8-Ball with a Raspberry Pi and divine your fortune with a set of custom GIF reactions.<br/><br/>Plus, 32 projects you can build: </p><ul><li>Make VR haptic gloves on a budget</li><li>Build a CO2 logger to help fight Covid-19</li><li>Learn to use generative design in Fusion 360</li><li>Send and receive sound using a beam of light</li><li>Build articulated wings for over-the-top cosplay or Halloween</li><li>And much more!</li></ul>
