My club poster for robotics

My robotics career has been a very important part of my development so far. I joined the school's First Tech Challenge robotics team in freshman year, and immeadiately became one of the core members, and one of the most active members of the team. I lead the construction of the competition robot for all 3 years, becoming club head in the third year.

Unfortunately, the pandemic was combined with the founding mentor of the robotics team leaving the club, leaving us with a much less experienced mentor at a very trying time. This was especially unfortunate, because I had just finished my extensive reworking of the teams physical hardware setup, to a new parts system. Though we still constructed a robot, we ended up shifting the model of the team away from FTC to a smaller scale internal sumobot competition. Now, the team seeks to foster the development of robotics skills for a wider school audience, and I have begun teaching CAD and other robotics skills to members of the new team.
