Rich Harley from Suspicion Industries sent in some pictures of a vehicle that they just completed. This is what I call a office away from home! I know where to go if I ever start a career as a super secret spy!

What do you get when you take a tank and stick a ton of sensors on it? You get a cool Georgia Tech Senior Design Project called AutoTank. Can’t wait to see what other projects Nate Klein, An Duong, Chris Gurley and Wink Barnes come up with.
