As the 2022-2024 Combat Robotics lead, I helped student teams design and manufacture their own 3 lb. robots. In this role I helped underclassmen fabricate components using resources such as plasma cutting, CNC milling, and hand machining tools. I created lectures on engineering principles useful for combat robots and held office hours to give students hands-on assistance. Over two years, I helped teams fabricate 14 robots for competition.
Meet Starburst, a Beetleweight undercutter I designed in SolidWorks. The position of the spinner makes it ideal for landing low hits and launching an opponent. The design uses UHMW sheets for the chassis, protected by 3D printed TPU armor. This project is a work in progress and will be manufactured for a competition.
I worked on the team behind UCLA's 15 lb. robot, Cheddar. As a member of the chassis sub-team, I performed material testing and manufactured various components of the chassis. I was responsible for improving and creating structural chassis components and outer armor. I also fabricated custom battery packs to meet the specific dimensions and capacity required for our robot, unavailable anywhere else on the market.
