Default "We don't have that part" --- Emergency Adaptive Engineering

snip good adaptive engineering story

Good on ya.

I had to design some physical rehab equipment years ago. Nobody had it. Got
quoted prices from $40,000 to $120,000 to design and build what I wanted.

I did a little research, asked some questions and slapped some things
together from the hardware store and a couple industrial suppliers.

I came up with a crude solution for $40. And a much better, semi-elegant
solution for $120.

I can relate.
