First Robotics Team 4946
During my time in high school I was a part of my school's FIRST robotics team, team 4946 the alpha dogs. During my time on the team I spent time on both the mechanical and design team and was directly involved in a significant portion of the projects listed below.

2020 Robot
"name" was the teams robot from the 2020 FIRST robotics season. I personally designed the drivetrain, including the wheels, gearbox and mounting surfaces for all other systems. Unfortunately the competition was cut short by COVID.

4 Wheel Independant Steering System (Swerve Drive)
During my last year on the team there was a push to develop a custom "swerve drive" which is more commonly known as a 4 wheel independant steering system. While I graduated before the system was able to be used on a competition rover, concepts I learned here went on to inspire designs I made for UGRT.
