Battlebots!

A three-pound (beetleweight) combat robot that I designed, assembled, and competed. The robot is made of mostly aluminum and 3D-printed plastics such as TPU and PETG and uses brushless DC motors to power the drivetrain and weapon.

Custom CNC Machine

Featuring a 300x500mm bed, this custom CNC router design is capable of cutting materials as strong as aluminum, nylon, and Delrin for under $300.

Radio frequency cavity cleaning at Fermilab

I helped to create a robotic arm which aids in the cleaning and maintenance of hard-to-reach spaces here at Fermilab. The project featured a custom GUI controlling the different axes driven by stepper motors.

FIRST Robotics Competition

I designed, assembled, tested, and competed robots for four years on my high school's FRC team. I was primarily responsible for rapid prototyping and designing parts in CAD.

FPV Drone

I built a drone with a camera and headset for first-person viewing during flight. I trained for flight using drone simulator software, and tuned the flight controller using Betaflight.

Fruit-picking VEX robot

I worked with two other Robotics Engineering undergraduates to create a VEX robot featuring color sensing, line sensing, distance sensing, and more, to pick and place plastic "fruits" from a tree.

Vacuum-formed skateboards

I vacuum-formed sheets of maple wood with glue between them to form various contours of skateboards.
