I design, print, wire, test, and rebuild hardware until it actually works. Most of my time goes into combat robots, FRC, CAD, and manufacturing projects.
My current 1lb PLAnt-class shell spinner. The whole outer shell spins at about 5,000 RPM and stores over 170J of energy. This robot has gone through a lot of failed parts, redesigns, and lessons learned the hard way.
My first combat robot, a fully 3D printed 1lb vertical spinner that competed at HACR. It was rough, but it taught me more than a clean first try ever would have.
I'm a high school student in Houston, TX, and I have been designing parts, 3D printing, and working in CAD since I was 9. I got hooked on making real parts early, and that turned into robotics, electronics, and manufacturing projects.
I like projects where I can go from an idea on screen to something physical I can test, break, and improve. Outside of robots, I make music and keep building tools, prints, and prototypes that teach me something new.
