"IVY" Robot

​Reliable, fast, and heavy duty scissor lift robot.

​The scissor lift bot, codenamed "Ivy" is a robot designed by myself, and co-developed and co-built by the Collins Hill Robotics Team.
The robot's design is especially impressive for being one of the only robotics of the season to feature the design. The design is notorious for being challenging to implement, though when done correctly, can be an extremely fast and competitive lift design.
  • Ultra compact
  • The design is just 12'' x 12 ", but can extend to nearly 5.5 foot.
  • Ability to go from min to max height in just 2.7 seconds
  • Automated self-monitoring system that ensures scissor evenly expands and contracts
  • Clever elastic systems help initial movement 
  • Ultra low maintenance

Mercer Motorsports

FSAE vehicle engine mount design

The Mercer Motorsports team needed an adjustable solution for mounting its drivetrain. I initially proposed the design pictured below, and with the help of classmates was able to further develop, test, 3D model, and run limited finite element analysis. 
  • Series of independent adjustable members
  • Compact, lightweight
  • Each member has ability to support 10x the design weight
