I joined the Advanced Robotics Team in my junior and senior year at Arcadia High School. As co-captain of the team, I worked on the Mechanical Systems (drive train, pneumatic, and mechanical frame). During that time, our team built 2 robots (the first two shown below) and competed in the FIRST Robotics Competitions in 2006 & 2007.
While I was at Caltech (as undergraduate student), I continued to mentor the FIRST Robotics Team at Arcadia High School from 2007 to 2008. I helped fabricate the manipulator arm of the robots by using CNC.
