Pose Visualizer

I made a website to generate test cases for the coordinate transform code I was writing for robotics!

The bulk of my work with vision this season revolved around translating coordinates (called Pose2ds) from camera relative to field relative, so I created this pose visualizer to generate the correct coordinates for the AprilTag (QR code) in each coordinate space (camera relative, robot relative, and field relative).

This was super helpful in running test cases on the actual vision code I was writing! I used Cursor, and AI code assistant, to help me write the website. This was my first time coding with the help of AI, and while I was initially hesitant because I didn't want to feel like the AI was doing the work for me, it ended up being super helpful since it had been a long time since I had used HTML and JavaScript.

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
