Competitive Robotics

I work on high-performance competitive robots for real-time autonomous and driver-controlled challenges. The system integrates sensor feedback, custom control logic, and modular hardware design to complete complex physical objectives with precision and repeatability.


Core Capabilities

  • - Responsive autonomous behavior powered by tuned PID control loops

  • - Real-time motion planning and correction using inertial and rotational sensors

  • - Pneumatic subsystem for controlled actuation of manipulators

  • - Modular chassis and lift system engineered for speed and reliability

Technical Stack

  • Hardware: Aluminum, pneumatic actuators, rotation + inertial sensors, and more
  • Software: Custom C++ codebase with fully autonomous and manual modes
  • Control: Real-time feedback integration for precise motor and path control

Reflection

My path in robotics began over six years ago, driven by a deep interest in building systems that could sense, think, and act. I started in high school working with large-scale robotics platforms like FRC, where I gained hands-on experience with both mechanical design and autonomous programming. Over the years, I transitioned into more compact, performance-oriented platforms like VEX, where I’ve continued refining my understanding of control systems, real-time logic, and precision engineering.


From large collaborative robots to tightly tuned autonomous systems, this journey has shaped how I approach technical challenges — not just as code or hardware, but as full systems that need to perform under pressure, adapt in real-time, and hold up to iteration. Robotics remains one of my core passions and continues to influence the way I design and build.
