Waterloo Labs

On my first day of work I had a run in with an Application Engineer, Eric, from the second floor. This floor is mainly the 1-3 years out of college employees, that do tech support for the NI software/Hardware. I kind of had a Deer in the headlight look when I first walked into the cafeteria and this fellow helped me out with ordering/ telling me what's in included with my meal. After, he brought me up to his floor and pointed out key people and what they do. It looked like a lot of fun, everywhere we turned there was a new College banner hanging from the ceiling and some homemade type banner made from random electronics/cardboard characters you find in party stores. Eric asked me if I have ever heard of the Waterloo Lab guys, I was unsure. He explained that this group from Application Engineering makes these DIY projects using NI hardware and other cool gadgets. Below is a video of this group with their latest project, an iPhone controlled full size car! Eric introduced me to the guy Hunter, you will see him in the video. Eric said "I think this RJ kid has a unique set of skills that may help you with your new project". That is all I can divulge for now, but they asked me to be a consultant to their group based upon my expertise (for you guys out there who know me, you can piece it together..lol)
