Currently Active/Recent Projects
A revamped version of Eclipse/Moonshot, featuring an revamped chassis, custom hub-motor, and novel tangent-drive system
A 30lb combat robot with a spinning blade mounted at the end of a powerful arm which delivers knockout blows to an opponent's top armor
A custom PCB design which collects metrics from the robot's electronics, and transmits them to a laptop for real time and post-match review
A revamped version of our previously constructed 30lb combat robot. This page is TBD!
My first project on the Tesla interiors team: A partial redesign of the existing Model S/X door panel to improve fit and finish and incorporate new ambient lighting.
