Intro to EECS Robot Kit Prototype
Created $200 robots to replace 6.01 robots, which cost several thousand dollars.

Contract work — MIT
MIT's introductory EECS class, 6.01, used ADEPT robots costing several thousand dollars each. With my cofounder, we accepted contract work to design a small, low-cost replacement platform equipped with photoresistors and distance sensors that would run the existing classwork code without modification — enabling an online version of the class to ship affordable kits to students.
What I did: Hardware design and systems integration code (Arduino: wiring and coordinating photoresistors, distance sensors, and motors).
