Project Manager Responsibilities:
Project Manager for 25-member BEST Robotics team in 2018 and 2019, Project Manager for 20-member FIRST Robotics team in 2020 and 2021.
- Facilitated communication and collaboration among sub-teams to ensure robot functionality (e.g. informing programming team of hardware changes).
- Mentored new members by assigning tasks based on skill level and explaining how tasks fit in with team’s overall goals.
Programming Responsibilities:
- Wrote software to control competitive robots for the FIRST (Java) and BEST (C++) Robotics Competitions. Features included movement from Xbox controllers, reading color sensor and gyroscope data, and PID loops for regulating speed,
- In 2021, I designed and implemented an autonomous driving system using computer vision models and data from camera feeds and sensors. Our team won the Autonomous Award for the competition.
Results:
- FIRST Robotics Competition (complex, big-budget robots): 2018: 5th at regional; 2019: 3rd at regional.
- BEST Robotics Competition (simple, budget-constrained robots): 2017: 9th at local competition; 2018: 1st at local, 8th at regional; 2019: 2nd at local, 13th at regional.
