This is a robot created for an Urban Search And Rescue competition. The competition simulates an earthquake environment. Our goal was to create a robot used for traversing the environment, finding victims, and mapping the arena. Click here for an avi video of the robot moving around wirelessly.

This project recieved Third Place at Colorado State University's ME Engineering-Days April 14, 2006.

*** We brought back three trophies from the US Open in Atlanta, GA.

1. 2nd Place Overall

2. 1st Place US Teams

3. Best in Class: Mobility

The robot was also shown on CNN Live, and will be on the Cartoon Network and some German tv station that I am not familiar with.

This is a technical paper that I wrote concerning robotic mapping. Basically, it is an overview of mapping algorithms and the code I came up with to generate a static map of the immediate environment.

Expect to see a detailed explanation for the dynamic mapping solution soon.

This is a picture of the printed circuit board designed for the USAR robot. This was designed primarily by myself and our electrical engineer, Robert Dore. This uses four 112-pin LQFP 9S12/HC12 microcontrollers as well as a Pic 16F88 microcontroller. This is a four layer board with green traces representing the back of the board.

This OS brand model airplane engine was modeled by myself, Nate Jones, and Justin Hollingsworth. This 3d model is to scale is to scale within 10/1000ths of an inch. I was responsible for the fuel/carburetor system, the crankshaft and crankshaft hardware, the piston and rod, all of the extruded text and logos, and the complete assembly of the part. I also implemented the background pictures for presentation effect.

This was modeled using PTC's Pro/Engineer Wildfire geometry processing software.

Here is a pdf format of the final report for my ME 307 final project. A pdf viewer such as the free Adobe Reader is necessary to view it.

The project was designed and built as per the requirements listed at this website.

The project was not completed by the due date, but a score of 98% was obtained. The bulk of this project was my own idea, but unfortunately, I was not helped much during the construction of the robot. The functionality of this project far exceeded any previous project attempted for this class. It is because of the complex functionality and minimal help from my group members that the robot was not completed. I do however plan to finish it in my spare time, soon.

These are some of the pictures submitted as required for ME 304. These were made with Pro/Engineer, Pro/Mechanica, Gambit, and Fluent. Tutorials were used to guide the creation and analyses of these parts.
