Notes

Think Tank built drones and remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) for competition. As team captain I owned hardware and software integration across the mechanical, electrical and software sub-teams, which means I spent a lot of time in the workshop translating between people who think in CAD and people who think in C++.

3rd place at the Teknofest Underwater Vehicle Systems Competition. The ROV was a tethered design with a forward camera, a manipulator arm and a custom ground-station UI that streamed video and telemetry over a single Ethernet line.
