Re-designed front suspension control arms using Siemens NX to solve problems from previous years control armsResolved clearance between interfaced front-corner elements such as the tie-rod, the front axles, and the uprights, allowing for increased driver control and improved vehicle dynamicsSimplified design to be 100% manufactured in-house, reducing overall cost to manufacture by $800Used Hyperworks FEA to analyze and re-build the control arms to a planned safety factor of 1.2

Manufactured 40+ unique components necessary to project car’s function while keeping track of deadlines Dedicated 200+ hours to using manual and CNC mill machines, including a Haas VF-2 4-axis machine.Used Fusion360 to write CAM for complex parts while considering factors like workholding and tolerances

Taught critical math and reading skills to over 60 students, provided individualized education supportCoordinated classroom operations, ensuring efficient use of time and resourcesCarefully adhered to health and safety guidelines set by NYC public school administration

Taught 15+ rookies about shop safety, robot design principles, and using CAD software like OnShape and SolidworksLed weekly team meetings with programming and electronics subteams to coordinate design and facbrication of the robot, resulting in a 25% faster design cycle than previous seasonsHeld design reviews for crucial systems on our robot, improving the reliability and robustness of our robot
