David Schwarzburg

Responsible for driving a 125lb robot at competitions capable of 19 feet per second, running operational and programmatical systems checks between matches to look for errors, and executing team and alliance strategy. Operates in a high-pressure, high-stakes, and rapidly changing environment.

Developed swerve drive code, system identification, and state-machine architecture utilizing Java and WPI libraries to create successful competition-ready robot drive basses and state machines. Collaborated with other team members and developers using Github and Slack to sucessfully distribute and combine work effort.

Current work on template subsystem parent classes decreased time to create future subsystems by automating IO interfaces and hardware implementation for subsystems.

FIRST Washington Volunteer:

Volunteer at FLL, FTC, and FRC events across Washington. Volunteered in field operations and reseting, event setup and takedown, event organization, and game refereeing.

Currently competing in creating a fun educational video game and a new community service website for Mill Creek over the course of 9 months in collaboration with 5 other team members using Godot, Github, and extensive planning and standards-compliant technical documentation.

In the time leading up to robotics driver tryouts, I developed a trainer in python in 2 days that used text, image, and voice cues as signals for game actions to help me develop muscle memory for complex control keybindings and combinations. This greatly helped me secure the position of driver and was improved upon to better simulate competition driving and to log user mistakes to focus on for future improvement.
