Led a team to design and manufacture a combat robot using SolidWorks, 3D printing, and waterjetting, achieving 2nd place in a UCLA competition. Developed a mass-efficient, aluminum horizontal spinner weapon with a maximal rotational moment of inertia, capable of puncturing a 4mm thick PLA plastic chassis. Implemented ESCs and brushless motors, optimizing high-speed cornering.

Built an 8-gram ultralight glider for an endurance competition using balsa wood, carbon fiber, mylar, rubber motors, and a custom PLA propeller. Developed precise building techniques using custom jigs for carbon fiber and balsa wood connections to keep airfoil mass distribution equal for optimal aerodynamics. Optimized flight time using aerodynamic analysis and calibration of centers of mass and lift to achieve a time of 50 seconds, placing 1st out of 40 teams in the state.

Designed and built a 5-gram balsa wood truss structure that held 2200 times its weight and placed 11th out of 3,000 teams across the nation. Designed and built custom laser-cut jigs for precise assembly, with accuracy within 1mm per 500mm. Derived optimal balsa wood elasticity for the highest mass-to-strength ratio from Euler's buckling formula and used truss analysis to predict the effective load supported by a tower with an error of less than 15%.

Designed, built, and programmed a remote-control robot using an Arduino, motor controllers, and stepper motors to compete in a task-completion competition, placing 3rd out of 60 teams. Developed a forklift-style lift arm with a double-door compartment using servo and stepper motors, linear rail guides, and custom MDF pieces. Optimized EasyTransfer, Servo, and Stepper Arduino libraries to generate quick and accurate control, allowing precision of movement with error within 5mm.

Designed, built, and optimized a precision electric vehicle that could stop at a prescribed distance with accuracy less than 1cm across 12m. Custom designed using CAD 3D printed joints and a lightweight axle alignment system that could adjust angle by 1/100ths of a degree. Used carbon fiber rods and soft rubber wheels for extra grip.

Extremely lightweight helicopter that could fly for 1min+ using just rubber band power. Built using thin carbon fiber rods, balsa wood, and mylar. Assembled using CA glue.

Built an arduino powered, multi-port, central dust collection system. All ports had blast gates that were open and closeable with a servo. These were all connected to a central arduino that was remote controlled such that the suction could be directed to wherever was chosen.

Always a dream of mine to own one of these classic arcade games, so decided to build my own. Constructed using mostly carpentry skills, with implementation of arduino and a servo motor to power the pushing table.
