My Role
Software Lead / Electrical Lead / Captain
Tools / Tech
- Java
- FRC control system
- AprilTag localization/Limelight
- Mechanical mechanisms
- Electrical layout
Build Process
- Used prototype feedback to guide the final robot design.
- Balanced ambitious mechanisms with reliability and fast maintenance.
- Worked on building a robot that could perform under match conditions.
What I Learned
- Learned how to move from quick prototypes to a more polished final system.
- Improved at making design tradeoffs between complexity, performance, and repairability.
- Built a stronger understanding of how mechanisms, electrical layout, controls, and localization interact.
Result / Impact
This project shows my growth from helping build parts to understanding how an entire robot comes together as an engineered system.
