CapitalBots, FIRST Tech Challenge
Four seasons of competitive robotics, building the machine, writing the code, and driving it on the field.
Seasons
I've helped my team design and build robots across the Freight Frenzy, PowerPlay, Center Stage, and Into the Deep seasons, reaching the World Championship level in Freight Frenzy (2021).
Engineering
- Worked extensively with CNC machines and 3-D printers (BambuLab, Ender), plus GoBilda / REV / McMaster parts.
- CADded several robot chassis and custom parts in Fusion 360 and Inventor.
Software
- Created the team's own pathfinding algorithm, built on RoadRunner.
- Wrote and published the first field-centric TeleOp for the new RoadRunner 1.0 documentation.
Beyond the field
As captain I coordinated across our build, programming, and outreach divisions, and ran robotics demos for local elementary schools to show younger students what engineering can actually do.
