DarBots

I was very fortunate to gain early exposure to robotics through the DarBots program at Darlington School. I competed as the team captain in the FTC robotics competition for two years.

I served as the team captain one year each for my high school FTC robotics team’s varsity team (4100) and junior varsity team (5100). During my time there, I developed a suite of robotics libraries that supports asynchronous sensor updates, motion profiling, pure pursuit, object detection, etc. I also worked on the mechanical design of the robot, overall management of task assignment, journal keeping (for the engineering notebook), outreach, and presentation.

After I left the team, I volunteered at three FTC events in China, one time as an inspector and two times as the head referee.
