  • When: 2010
  • Team: 3 Mechatronics Engineers responsible for Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Firmware Software Engineering, and Systems Integration
  • My Role: Mechatronics Engineer with additional focus on Firmware Software Engineering and Systems Integration
The Challenge

Design and build a full-functioning boat and controller that can cooperatively strive to harvest a crop of virtual crab during a series of crabbing “seasons” within three weeks for less than $150.

Pirates

Our team of three created our pirate ship in the Spring of 2010. Our pirate ship was a sleek fiberglass boat that was quickly maneuverable through dangerous waters.
