Mechanical Engineering Students

 

James Bernstein

The Machinist. If there's a custom made part on the robot (a couple come to mind) it's likely James tailored it in some way. James's claim to fame is putting our Bot on the Jenny Craig System; he slapped on some carbon fiber, bored out some holes, and voila. 

Quote: "You like that, I polished that up..."

 

 

Jeremiah Bullis

The Brewer. Jeremiah, or Jeremy as we like to call him, redesigned the entire primary weapon, crunched the numbers, and even made it into a cartoon. 

Quote: "Just call me at work."

 

 

Oscar Garcia

Never gives up and never lets down, Oscar dabbled his hand in a few aspects of the Bot with his Myers-Briggs "Musical" Personality Type. Oscar worked with the pneumatics components, monkey wrenching, and of course pneumatics. 

Quote: "Awesome"

 

 

Nik Hartney

The Man of the Hour. Not only did Nik designed the entire propulsion system for the Bot but he created the 3 dimensional model of the Bot, giving the team a good sense of how to approach systems integration (which he also did) but without which nothing would fit.

Electrical Engineering Students

 

Rafael Bonnelly

ME's didn't really see all that much of Rafael, he was buried in the EE Lab  doing calculations.

Quote: (Would require talking)

 

 

 

Will Resnick

Well, Will's from Bradenton, not a whole lot there. Will helped with the concept design and calculations.

Quote: "Yeah..."

 

Jay Wells

The resource man. We have of course expended every possible resource we could to put together our BattleBot and Jay is by no means any exception.  He has spear headed the electrical system aspect and also managed to help out a lot in attaining funding and parts.

Quote: "Well, my grandaddy...."

 

 

Dave Leddy

Another diligent EE student, Dave put a big effort in our assembly and trying to figure out the damn controls. Dave however, found out the hard way what happens when you connect the red wire and the black wire.

Quote: "Dave just sits at home and plays Playstation all day." -Jay
