HACKROD
HACKROD IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING PROJECTS I HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH. IN SOME WAYS IT BEGAN WHILE I WAS A DESIGNER AT MATTEL. ORIGINALLY THROUGH MATTEL I BEGAN WORKING WITH THE PRODUCTION COMPANY BANDITO BROS DESIGNING A BODY FOR A LOW COST BUT HIGH END LOOKING FUN CAR THAT COULD BE OWNER BUILT, I CAME UP WITH A SHARP OPEN WHEEL WEDGE DESIGN I CALLED CON GUSTO AND THEN MIRAGGIO.
I LATER RECONNECTED WITH BANDITO AND MY EX MATTEL BOSS TO BEGIN WORK ON HACKROD, THE NEXT PHASE OF THE IDEA. I LEARNED 3D MODELING TO CREATE A BODY DESIGN THAT COULD BE 3D PRINTED (WHAT IS SHOWN) AND INCORPERATED SOME OF THE INITIAL IDEAS AND EVEN THE WHEELS FROM THE EARLIER PROJECT. THE CHASSIS WOULD BE CREATED ENTIRLY BY A.I. AND ALSO 3D PRINTED, IN MAGNESIUM. THIS IDEA WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME AND EVERYONE INVOLVED EVENTUALLY WENT BROKE BUT WHAT WAS CREATED IS SOME OF THE MOST CUTTING EDGE STUFF I HAVE DONE.
