Here’s some shots of my road trip across the country from Los Angeles to Boston. Some highlights were:

1. Yolo-stone (Yellowstone). Beautiful. Ol’ Faithful was definitely a sight, but making fun of all the tourists (yeah, I was one of them) waiting for the water to spit was a more entertaining view. A ton of buffalo/ bison crossed our path on our way out of the park.

2. Getting caught in the scariest, strongest, craziest storm in the Badlands. The winds were so terrifyingly strong that the poles to our already tied/ weighed down tent was bending inwards until it touched our noses as we slept.

3. Swimming in the warm waters of Lake Huron at night. It was a wonderful unexpected detour! I highly recommend staying at Lakeport State Park towards the end of the summer.

4. Stepping into all 5 great lakes!

5. Making peanut butter chocolate chip marshmallow tortilla sandwiches and watching Nick and Geoff try to eat them.

I’ve hidden pictures of my living situation long enough, so here they are. But, shhhh! It’s still a secret.

Since last year, Chani, my roommate, and I had plans for building a second floor (at times we wanted three floors) when we landed a high-ceiling room during room draw. The room was perfect! Lots of room for sleeping on top and working on the bottom. Plus, there’s a ton of tile space for “water” pong.

After bringing the structure up and down and up again, it took around two months to finally finish it. The whole hallway had to be patient as most of our furniture lined the hallway during construction. But it’s finally done, and the wood block pizza was delicious.

Practice for an upcoming project. I love the extreme bangs!

MechProto 2330 Planar Mechanisms

Preliminary tests for Design Nature ENGR 1200.

Final assembly for Prototype 1 for ENGR2330 MechProto.

This was my first experience with rapid prototyping and polymers. My team quickly learned the limitations of 3D printing. Several of the parts were not strong, and we had to make many modifications and adjustments. The pulley guards for the suspended pulley tree worked well, but we had to insert dowel pins through the pulleys because they would pop under the high force exerted from the cables. Overall, the first prototype worked very well and was able to pick up several objects.

Under-actuated Hand Design for ENGR2330 Mech Proto

The assignment was to create a robotic hand so that it may pick up various items. We were given only one motor and each prototype will have a specific design based on its materials and method of manufacturing.

This is the first prototype, which had been submitted to be 3-D printed. Polymers will be placed along the finger segments to enhance grip. The next prototype will be created from sheet metal and plywood, and the final prototype will be a combination of materials.

Our team decided to have the specific challenge to design our hand so that it is able to not only pick up items, but also open the tab of a soda can. I was put in charge of the design of the lever, which is quite challenging considering the fact that we are provided with only one lever. To overcome this issue, the lever utilizes the pressure of the hand pushing down against the top of the aluminum can, which eliminates the need for a power source.
