You can see a general shot of the poster. I seriously doubt that anything beyond the title and names are legible on it, but it gives you an impression of the poster overall.
Right now I'm using this page to display photos from the SOURCE Symposium 2005, in which I participated through EMAE/BIOL 377, an interdisciplinary biorobotics course I took in Spring 2005. Clicking on the pictures below will load full-sized images. And I swear I'll talk more about the stuff I do. Someday.
NEWS FLASH! I'm proud to announce that the poster displayed here won second place in the Engineering and Computer Science catagory at this year's SOURCE Symposium. Three of the four team members attended the Undergraduate Honors Assembly to accept the award. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures of the event.
MORE NEWS! I've got some pictures of the completed leg up at Flickr.

Here is a badly put-together, very large image of the poster. The full image is
theoretically semi-legible.
This is one of the photos on the poster, showing the passive rear foot
design. The following is the caption:
A. Tibia; constructed from hollow aluminum cylinder to reduce weight;
B. Nylon ball joint; provides rotation and compliance;
C. Ball joint housing; constructed from bored and slotted aluminum cylinder; additionally holds foot to keep it
from slipping out;
D. Spring steel foot; sheared and bent from unnealled steel, then heat-treated;
E. Frictional pads; molded from polyvinylsiloxane, then glued on using Permabond super glue, chosen for high
shear strength;
F. Aluminum collar (not pictured); used to keep biasing springs in place;
G. Linear springs (not pictured); used to bring ball joint back into default position for stance.
