As he prepares to leave Spectrum to pursue more writing and assorted other projects, I asked Schneider to survey his DIY oeuvre and choose some highlights. He notes that his exoplanet detector , which he made back in 2014, still impresses him almost a decade on.

It's a 2002 Saturn SL1 with 220,000 miles and a rough engine, however it still runs. I have bought my donor car. The price was $900 which was OK I think?

Months later, in 2002, Bob and I finally had a set of electronics put together, with the right motors figured out, and we were ready to take a crack at making it balance and drive around. Bender the Balancing Robot, built in 2002. He then showed me a video of a robot that could balance on two wheels, and I thought it was amazing.

He passed away from diabetes-related complications in 2002. Then there are the many, many DIY projects underway. But although he tried to administer the right amount of insulin at the right times, his blood-glucose control was quite poor. A person who requires insulin must walk a tightrope. Beta Bionics.
