For my final project, I’d like to make an active scuba gear drying rack. Ideally, I’d like this rack to be modular so I can install it and use it in whichever accommodation I happen to be staying at. But at the same time it also has to be structurally sturdy enough to not collapse under continuous loading as it will act as a permanent hanging storage space for my scuba suit and gear. Other features I’d like my rack to have are:

• Soft contours to support the scuba suit without damaging it.
• Ventilation ducts with an electric fan.
• Humidity sensors and some sort of a water overflow sensor.
• An interface - maybe an LCD and some buttons and dials - to allow me to choose which drying program I’d like to use.
• Maybe also some sort of a drainage system to redirect dripping water into a place safe for it to go.

Here is a hand-drawn sketch of my idea:
