Travis Hainsworth is a whole lot of fun. And when he’s not out on his highly questionable one-ski quiver, he’s busy being the associate director of the Western-CU Boulder Computer Science Program here in Gunnison, CO, and an integral member of our Blister Labs team. So in this GEAR:30 conversation, we’re talking “SoRo” (soft robots); MoCap; wheelset testing; his dream of becoming the first Red-Bull-sponsored mathematician; and more.
