These complex machines were designed to compete in a robotic soccer challenge. The challenge was to design, manufacture, assemble and code autonomous (self-driving) robots (22 cm in diameter) that can maneuver around other robots, handle the ball and score powerful, tricky shots. Our team won made it to internationals 4 years in a row and in our best year we placed 2nd globally.

These romote controlled vehicles, which measured 18in in all dimensions, were specifically designed to compete in an annual challenge. Through my 4 years of competing, the challenges ranged from stacking blocks to launching balls. Each year I designed, manufactured and assembled complex robots. Depicted to the left are the series of robots I designed in the last year of competition. It uses linear slides, servos, chains, sprockets and a variety of motors to complete the challenge of stacking lego bricks. One unique aspect of this design was the usage of generative designed parts. The robot was optimized for strength, rigidity, speed, accuracy and size. It was one of the smallest robots to compete in the competition and was admired for its speed and accuracy. My team made it to the world championships 3 out of the 4 years I competed.
