High School Projects
"Ardberry" Rover
Over my gap year in 2015/6, I built an internet-controlled rover that used 3D printed parts, Lego NXT componets, a custom-designed Arduino UNO shield and a Raspberry Pi. It features a servo-mounted camera that streams live video to the control interface.
ESA CanSat competition 2014/5
CanSat is an international competition to design, prototype and manufacture a model satellite the size of a standard drinks can (66mm in diameter). I was group leader for the mechanical design and manufacture devision.
Formula 24+ Challenge 2014/5
Formula 24+ is a challenge to manufacture a battery-powered racecar to be raced at courses across the UK. As head of the electronics division, I designed the electronic systems that included the motor controller, the battery voltmeter and the main control PCB.
Toyota STEM Challenge 2013/4
The Toyota STEM Challenge is a national competition to design and manufacture a rover that covers a set distance as fast as possible on a single charge of a 10F capacitor. The team I lead were UK national champions.
RepRap 3D Printer
During my GCSE study period in 2013, I bought the components and built the RepRap Huxley 3D printer following the open-source design.
ASGARD BalloonSat III 2013
BalloonSat is an international high-altitude research mission held annually in Belgium. In a team of three, we designed an experiment to attempt to triangulate the position of the weather ballon experiment platform using FM signals from radio broadcasters.
Engineering and Electronics Societies at St. Paul's School
As president of the Engineering and Electronics Societies in secondary-school, I helped organise and oversaw events to promote engineering at St Paul's School, such as inter-school challenge evenings and industry visits.
Toyota Technology Challenge 2011/2
The competition is to design and build a rover that can navigate an obstacle course autonomously. In a team of three, we designed the electronics and chassis from scratch and were UK national runner-ups.
