iRobotics VEX
Jan 2023 – Present
Recently joined the University’s team which will participate in the VEX competition hosted by UIUC. Working on building a robot that can shoot discs into a goal both autonomously and while being controlled.
The Illini Solar Car Club,
Urbana, United States
Aug 2022 – Present
The Illini Solar Car Club works on building an Electric Car that works on Solar Energy. This car participates in competitions in the U.S. and around the world. I worked on the Car’s Low Voltage, Updated the Power System from 12 to 24 Volts, and changed from ‘KK’ to improved ‘Microfit’ Transistors. The new transistors improved the car’s efficiency.
