My Role
As a freshman in high school, I tried to become as integrated and involved in the team as possible. Initially, as the year started, I was more interested in programming the robot, for which I learned java and crucial computer science topics throughout the year. Alongside this, I explored my interests in mechanical and electrical, learning everything from basic mechanic tasks such as milling, lathing, soldering, and crimping. As I gradually started to gain knowledge, I had a pretty solid understanding of creating something and designing something from scratch using nuts, bolts, sheet metal, and bearings. With this, I became a prominent freshman on the team with high potential as I got my head into everything I could learn.
