Paper Projectiles (2016)

Competition

Build a robot which accepts a flat sheet of paper, modifies it, and launches it. The robot whose projectiles go the farthest wins.

Result

Significant mechanical issues. Finished middle of the pack in the competition. The video above is edited to show off intended operation.

My Responsibilities

Lead electronics team in engineering and programming with microcontrollers, sensors, power, and other electronic components. The goal was to have the robot work completely autonomously, although this was never realized from start to finish due to the aforementioned mechanical issues.
