Maglev Train (Spring 2022)

- Collaborated in a team of four to design and implement a Maglev train system capable of magnetic levitation and propulsion over a designated track.
- Applied principles of electromagnetism and magnetic repulsion to achieve stable levitation and minimal friction for enhanced speed and efficiency.
- Designed the track and train system for short-distance travel, ensuring smooth acceleration and deceleration over the course.
- Led testing and refinement stages, optimizing levitation stability and power management for consistent performance.

Soda Can Flip 180 (Fall 2023)

- Contributed to a project aimed at designing an automated arm mechanism that extends, flips a soda can, and retracts to a predefined position.
- Led the design phase using SolidWorks to create precise mechanical parts, ensuring accurate fit and smooth functionality.
- Assisted in writing and refining the code for the arm’s operation, focusing on accurate positioning, timing, and motion control.

Coin Transfer Challenge (Spring 2024)

- Participated in a project where the goal was to design a robot capable of transferring coins from one side of a square to the other, without crossing a defined middle line.
- Designed the robot in SolidWorks, focusing on creating a mechanism that adheres to the project constraints while ensuring efficiency and precision in coin movement.
- Ensured the mechanical parts were designed to fit together seamlessly, allowing for smooth operation without interfering with the restricted middle zone.
- Played a key role in assembling and testing the robot, verifying that the design worked effectively under project limitations.
