SACH-SAWCH

Executive basketball game. Two teams from coin flips and players from Darco, Aircast, and 3M. Team SAWCH vs Rockers!! It is on. It was a massacre. No baskets for the rockers. Three digit score for SAWCH & points climbing fast - well before half time. Blue faces on the Rocker bottom team and tongues way too visible. Let's stop here & switch shoes! We ended when the score (quickly) evened up. Execs don't like losing, even for science. Quit at a draw. Suddenly all sorts of products were replacing rocker everything but interestingly design people did their best to color the boot sides to look rocker-ish (for the many who can't abide changing what they were taught). This was the birth of high performance by way of casts and a subset of cast braces when immobility is not the purpose. SAWCH, born of SACH. But, was this really about ENERGY? Calculating from motion video is a beast with huge assumptions that are required... Sweat & inability to perform are quite convincing but do not MEASURE. In a range of reasonable expectation, just how tight a measurement is needed? How much is too much because it fails? So, on to engineering student volunteers doing participation projects.
