Power Tracker

• 

  Enclosure mock up

Inspiration

Had this idea outside of this Hackathon. Confirmation it was meant to be.

What it does

Electro-mechanical resistance and towing system for swimming training. It provides analytics to track training and performance improvements with actionable changes.

How I built it

We created a mechanical design in Solidworks, a web user interface and a functional demo that reads an encoder using a Raspberry Pi and pushing the data to the live website.

Challenges I ran into

We did not have the necessary hardware (force sensor) to build this out as much as we would have liked.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Proud of the quality and the viability of the mechanical and sensing solution as well as the web interface.

What I learned

Learned some creative ideas around sensing and measurement techniques as well as web development using React.

What's next for Power Tracker

We are looking forward to building a prototype and hopefully refining this technology in conjunction with the GT swim team.
