Combat Robotics
Fireball is a 250lb Battlebot with a vertically spinning drum, flywheel, and flamethrowers! As part of the fireball team I designed the drive system and electronics housing, and I machined various parts. Fireball has competed twice at Battlebots Destructathon!
Clyde is my 3lb flamethrower combat robot. Through many iterations I've reached Clyde V9.0, utilizing a custom fan and metal 3D printed manifold to maximize the temperature and range of the fire. Clyde competes at NHRL, where it won the March 2024 3lb division.

Waddles! is a modular 30lb combat robot I founded at WPI. I designed several iterations of drive systems for Waddles, allowing it to quickly deliver its powerful weapons into opponents. I made many parts for Waddles on the WPI CNC mills and lathes. I have since handed off Waddles! to the next generation of WPI students who continue to iterate and learn.
I was the preisdent of the WPI Combat Robotics Club 2023-2024. I taught new club members, organized competitions, and managed the budget. I am still an active alum of the WPI Combat Robotics Club, helping club members through the club Discord and through design reviews.
