Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Motorized Barcalounger

Location:   Expo Hall  Roaming   

It looks like an ordinary 1970's era black vinyl recliner... but the secret is concealed inside - bwah ha ha ha! The electric wheelchair concealed beneath allows for the ultimate in laziness and nerd-geekiness combined!! Too lazy to get a beer from the fridge and your dog's too stupid to learn (or too smart to reward your lazy bum)? Build your own motorized barcalounger!

About the Maker(s)

Lyn Gomes [
As a woman engineer, I'd love to inspire other women (and men) to become engineers too. I'd like to show that you don't have to fit into the "white short sleeve shirt and pocket protector" stereotype. As a mechanical engineer, I design ventilation systems that keep people and sophisticated equipment cool. When I'm not at work, I enjoy hiking, growing orchids, playing with my dogs, dirt biking, snowboarding, and MAKING, of course!
