Three-Stage Cascading Elevator
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.
Each case study follows the same arc — requirements, engineering decisions, what failed under test, and what I changed. Numbers and methods come from the 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.
The complete mechanical architecture for a 2026 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 personal mechanical and electrical project — designing and assembling a 5-inch FPV drone and integrating the frame, motors, flight controller, ESC, ELRS receiver, battery, and power system.
