Here are the images in higher resolution:
Recently, I had the opportunity to design graphics for t-shirts for my ftc robotics team. I was able to create all the graphics exclusively using Adobe Photoshop CS6. If you'd like to make your own custom shirts, rushordertees.com would be a great place to look. Here are the images in higher resolution: The only slight problem I have with the design is that the front "2827" doesn't have the same luster that the back "2827" numbers have, though this is a minor concern which will be almost impossible to notice on the actual shirts.

I've never made a blog post like this. Usually, I wait until I finish a project (or create something that works as it should) before I write about it. However, the internet is not only a place to post about things that work, but also a place to find answers for things that don't. So if, after reading this post, you feel compelled to post something that you think I did incorrectly or something you would have done differently, please do so. Over the last several weeks, I've been toying with the idea of creating a kickstarter campaign for a simple, breadboard-friendly wireless energy harvesting device, known as a "Rectenna." Rectennas work by rectifying microwave energy into direct current electricity, suitable for powering low-power applications and devices. I thought it would be neat (speaking from a hobbyist perspective) to have simple plug-and-play, wireless power sources to implement in a project, which you can add up in series to increase the output voltage. After quite a bit of research online (most of it unfruitful), I found this page about a patch-antenna style rectifier that allegedly was able to power a small LED. This was exactly what I was looking for, so I ordered the needed surface-mount components (HSMS-2852 Schottky barrier diodes, and .1 uf capacitors (which I just guessed at for the appropriate values, since I couldn't find anywhere that specified the capacitor values needed for a rectenna circuit)).
