These case studies document requirements, engineering decisions, testing, and iteration across individual and group projects. Numbers and methods come from project documentation, not from memory.
A deployable climber that carries the full weight of the robot up multiple bars on alternating carbon-fiber hooks — packaged into three inches of space between the swerve modules and shooter.
A fully belt-driven three-stage cascading elevator that reaches a 7-ft scoring target from inside a 3 ft 6 in. starting-height envelope — redesigned component-by-component through testing.
The complete mechanical architecture for a 2024 FRC robot — chassis, frame rails, bellypan, and an under-bellypan electronics layout that freed the upper chassis for the elevator, climber, and under-bumper intake.
A group-built 5-inch FPV drone combining mechanical assembly, electrical integration, configuration, and flight testing. A separate group case study is in progress.
A character-driven mechanical alarm clock whose spring-return head, passive latch, servo linkage, articulated controls, and OLED turn the alarm sequence into a physical interaction.
Designed and analyzed a 42-cell 14S3P battery module in SolidWorks, focusing on structural integrity, cell spacing, insulation, battery-system integration, and manufacturability.
