Mobile Robotic Engineer / Competitor
My Role:
Founded and led a nonprofit Perrybotics dedicated to cultivating engineering passion through competitive robotics. Led and mentored teams of 7–14 high school students as part of a nonprofit initiative to design and build competitive robots for the VEX Robotics Competition, a global event with over 20,000 teams. Directed all aspects of team including engineering, timeline management, and finnical logistics. Achieved 3 California State Championships(2022-2023), National Silver (2022), and National Gold (2023).
My work:
Independently designed and built 10+ fully functional mobile robots, I worked on mechanical systems, control algorithms, and design-for-manufacturability. Developed robots from 2D master sketches to full CAD assemblies using Inventor and Onshape. Fabricated components using handsaws, drilling, and Dremel-cut parts and CNC routing, manual milling, lathing, and laser cutting.
Below are some of my favorite and most award-winning robots, each representing a milestone in my engineering journey.
2024
2024
Designed and built two 16 lb mobile robots for the Over Under challenge. Each featured a metal tube chassis, 2-DOF arm with 8" reach, a catapult with a 8.5ft range, and 5" deployable wings for a total 25" front width. Capable of traveling at 8.5 ft/s and clearing 3" obstacles. Both robots collapsed to under 6" for endgame conditions. Competed in the World Championship eliminations bracket. _______________________________________________________
2023
2023
Developed a competitive robot for Spin Up that launched three discs into a goal using a flat catapult with a 10 ft range. Integrated a pneumatic transmission that reallocated two motors between the intake and drivetrain, switching from a 6-motor (66 W) to 8-motor (88 W) drive, reaching 7.19 ft/s. Used passive rollers and a ratcheted gear system to share power between subsystems. Won California State and National Championship, and reached World Championship eliminations.
2022
2022
Built a 15 lb robot with a 6-motor, 2-speed drivetrain capable of switching between 333 rpm and 120 rpm for speed and torque. Designed to carry multiple 3 lb mobile goals, load rings, and climb with an additional 9 lb. Used a custom chain bar lift producing 2 Nm torque and a locking clamp mechanism for secure goal handling. Won two California State Championships and competed at the World Championship. ______________________________________
Robotics Educator / Community Outreach
Robotics Education:
As we approach an automated future, we will face labor disruption and rampant unemployment. Robotics education offers a solution by engaging young students through fun competitions and cultivating passion. Perrybotics' mission is to cultivate engineering passion, and one of the ways we do that is through summer camps, volunteering, and mentorship. Annually, Perrybotics mentors middle schools in the DUSD and TUSD regions of SoCal. In the last two years, we’ve mentored over 200 students across Southern California. We’ve also volunteered at local tournament championships as judges, scorers, and refs.
