Jenga Earthquake Table
NU Toys: Club Project (2017)
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Construct a randomly vibrating base table for a game to Jenga to increase the game's difficulty.
CONSTRAINTS:
Budget limited to $50. Due to fall e-board responsibilities I set myself a deadline to finish this project before 09/2017, leaving about one month to complete the first prototype.

Mars Rover Chassis
NU Rover Team: Subsystem Lead (Fall 2018)
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Design, analyze, and build a chassis for the NU Rover Team's entry in the University Rover Challenge.
Chassis must be lightweight (<7kg), manufacturable, and have a safety factor > 3 for predicted loading scenarios
DESIGN & ANALYSIS:
- Designed and performed FEA on frame designs in Solidworks to determine factor of safety and maximum beam deflection.
- Iterations were created to optimize weight while maintaining a factor of safety > 3 and small beam deflection.
- Final frame design was locked and prepared for manufacturing
Analysis on frame design
MANUFACTURING:
- Cut aluminum extrusion to length, and made polycarbonate siding
- Outsourced frame welding, but we were able to watch and learn about TIG welding aluminum during the process!
Completed chassis!
COMPETITION:
Although I did not attend it, we qualified to the URC 2019 competition as the only first-year team, where we placed 27th out of 36 teams!
