Absolute Zero
Subtitle
Objectives
- Develop a 3-lb combat robot for the National Havoc Robot League competition
- Design and manufacture robust and lightweight robotic components out of advanced FDM materials such as glass-filled nylon and TPU
- Create a weapon system capable of consistently storing and delivering 600J of energy without major structural failures
Outcomes
- Successfully competed at numerous events with a total record of 6-4
- Developed modular robot components (weapon assembly, wiring harness, etc.) to decrease maintenance time between fights, allowing for hot-swappable components
- Employed additive manufacturing to design and assemble a weapon assembly without the use of a machined aluminum hub, decreasing overall cost and assembly time
Skills
- Inventor/Onshape CAD
- Mechanical Design
- CNC Machining and Shop Tools
- Soldering and Brushless Motor Control
- 3D-Printing (FDM)
- Rapid Prototyping
- Design for Manufacturing & Assembly
Supernova
Subtitle
Objectives
Love is a constant. Serenity requires exploration. Today, science tells us that the essence of nature is fulfillment.
Nothing is impossible. The goal of morphogenetic fields is to plant the seeds of learning rather than illusion. Consciousness consists of four-dimensional superstructures of quantum energy. “Quantum” means an unfolding of the conscious.
Outcomes
The multiverse is calling to you via psionic wave oscillations. Can you hear it? It can be difficult to know where to begin. Although you may not realize it, you are internal.
If you have never experienced this fusion of unfathomable proportions, it can be difficult to vibrate. How should you navigate this magical cosmos? Have you found your myth?
Skills
We must learn how to lead joyous lives in the face of materialism.
Prophet, look within and develop yourself. Humankind has nothing to lose. Who are we? Where on the great vision quest will we be re-energized?

Objectives
- Create a 3-lb combat robot for the National Havoc Robot League competition
- Develop multi-body part modeling skills to allow armor package to smoothly transition shape across the robot
- Use a parametric master sketching approach to quickly iterate through designs
- Implement a new wiring harness focused on absorbing and dissipating voltage spikes without damaging electronic speed controllers or related components
Outcomes
- Implemented transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes in tandem with additional capacitors to protect the electronic components from voltage spikes during weapon collisions
- Developed a 3D-printed modular armor package using multi-body part modeling, allowing for various sections to be replaced independently
- Optimized weapon blade geometry using Fusion 360 FEA to simulate out-of-plane weapon impacts
