お疲れ様です😊

Everyone looks so cool here でしょう〜

よしいさん、かっこいい！発表してくれてありがとうね。

KAKI insole v3. Fully revamped. Originally capacitive sensor, added 9 DoF IMU, barometer, sd card logging, using nrf52840 instead of esp32 to be more power efficient.
Fully custom insole layout with custom layering capability.

This version could go 16+ hours on a single charge. With 99% BLE stability!

This time in KAKI V3 we use the @bro.do venturi as our model shoes. (Previously we used the brodo krakatau 2 for KAKI V2)

Thanks you guysss

Dinner with a twist 😁

Photoshoot after presentation, it's in full Japanese including the QnA. Thankfully it went well and we even did a demonstration.

The one that they use on the official booklet

So nervous because apparently the winners need to do some winning speech in full Japanese🤣

Look at those happy faces!

Thanks Jojo, I still remember vividly how you push me to improve my Japanese pronunciation of my presentation part🥲

Shinkansen on to the competition venue, look how nonchalant everyone is.

We use the KAKI Insole v2.2, the same hardware we used to win the KUAS Business plan 2024, but with far lighter and faster software by tweaking the interpolation algorithm.

Thank you to all of you.
We fought together, we won together.

And thank you for swiping till the end!
