Project 2 - I'll have nightmares about gears now

 





I have uploaded several videos about my gear testing progress to this google drive folder:

TMU Design Invitational Hosted by Universal

Image
This past week Nov 8-13, I had the opportunity to attend the TMU Design Invitational hosted by Universal in Orlando, FL with my project team TPEG (Theme Park Engineering Group). At the competition I was challenged to design solutions to three different challenges in a time pressured environment, while I had the opportunity to network with Universal jurors, learn more about ride technologies, and connect with students from other universities. As Alyssa mentioned during her presentation, the themed entertainment industry is an engaging application of robotics and technology.

Project 3 - Inspiration and Sketches

Image
This project was inspired by my mom who was a ballerina growing up. My mom is one of my biggest supporters and brings light to the dark. Therefore, I will be creating a ballerina that starts dancing and lights up an LED when it senses the dark using a photoresistor.
