Landline Phone Speaker

For the sophomore haunted house that I led we wanted to create a telephone prop that would play a recorded message, so I decided to rewire two landline phones to work.

Unfortunately I barely documented the process, but I have a video of one of the first times I was able to play sound through the phone speaker from my MP3 player (the blue thing):

Glove Control Drivetrain

For my Engineering III final project I chose to create a fun drive control system that converted hand tilts into motor speeds. Here's a video summary of what I did:

Product Redesign: CTRE Battery Beak

I am in the process of repackaging a CTRE Battery Beak (battery load tester) for an Engineering III project. I designed the shell to match the shape of the battery connector, replaced the button, and streamlined the shape. In my next iteration I will need to increase the clearance for

Ribcage

I designed a magnetic ribcage accessory inspired by one of my favorite books, Harrow the Ninth. I used a 15 AWG wire base, and built up the form with foam clay. I used very small rare earth metal magnets, embedding them inside the foam clay and sewing them to the

Onshape Features: FRC Wiring

My FRC team has struggled to include electronics in our robot design in the past, so I extended Onshape's wiring features to be more user friendly for FRC CADers. You can see a sample robot (not CADed by me) wired with my features, in addition to my features
