Trash Panda Labs: The Detour Is the Point
A personal workshop documenting cars, circuits, repairs, 3D printing, trips, and the ideas that survive getting your hands dirty.
Field notes
The homepage frames the project around an explicit three-step working method: “Take it apart,” “Make it work,” and “Share the detour.” Its subject map covers T3 and other cars, embedded hardware, 3D printing and repairs, plus trips and detours. The page identifies the operation as currently consisting of one person, while inviting others to shoot videos, fix something, take a trip, or bring an idea. Articles and a YouTube channel provide the project’s two visible publishing routes.
