HyperLab Revamp

1. Revamping all the workstations: New monitors, keyboards/mice, speakers, and added a KVM & docking station at each station so students can use either the PC at that station or their laptop while being connected to everything at that station including ethernet. One of these stations is also designed as a 4 channel robotics-friendly docking station to let our VIP team work with many different robots with ease. This station has a PC, server, and 2 docking stations that are available at the front of the monitor. This lets our team easily plug a robot or PC into the station for testing without looking behind the montior for ports.

2. Networking: Full new Ubiquiti networking system including a router, access point, network switches, custom ethernet cable runs, and structure to create new the HyperNet with Wi-Fi 7 and up to 10gig LAN to our new 20TB NAS. This NAS lets us safely backup our Cloud Shared Drive and work larger PR and VIP Projects without dealing with slow speeds or storage limits.

3. Safety: Integrated into our networking system are 2 new cameras to keep our equipment safe and allow us to do livestreams/timelapses or our work.

4. Other Tools & Equipment: We also stocked our lab with many new tools & equipment to enable us to do more work in our lab space like mechanical tools, an electronics & soldering station, two P2S Combo 3D printers, and more

There are many more smaller improvements that we made to the lab to make our small space work best for our growing team, and be an enjoyable space to work in.
