OVERVIEW
Collaborated with a 12-member team to design and build a multi-robot system using LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Kits for a competitive object-sorting challenge. Served as the primary designer for the transportation unit, optimizing its design based on criteria for cost, weight, speed, and reliability. Modeled all robot components in Fusion 360 and prepared precise part files using AutoCAD for fabrication in the university's rapid prototyping lab.
