High-altitude rockets often utilize carbon fiber or metallic fuselages that act as Faraday cages, severely attenuating internal telemetry signals. To solve this, I led the development of the "Fintenna", a structural, aerodynamic rocket fin with an integrated SRAD (Student Researched and Developed) a...

The Challenge: As orbital environments become increasingly congested, the need for efficient, autonomous debris removal is critical for satellite safety. This competition challenged teams to design, build, and program a VEX-based autonomous robot capable of identifying, collecting, and disposing of ...

The Challenge: In a high-pressure, 5-hour "black box" challenge, teams were tasked with designing and constructing a functional projectile launcher using a strictly limited kit of materials. The goal was to achieve maximum accuracy and repeatable distance in a "Cornhole" style target game, requiring...

The objective was to simulate a "Damage and Repair" scenario on a donated aircraft engine nacelle. This required creating a controlled penetration through the aluminum alloy skin and performing a permanent flush or lap-patch repair. The challenge focused on maintaining structural integrity and aerod...
