SailBot at Pitt

SailBot is a project-based club that aims to compete in an annual robotic sailing competition. Over the course of a year, the team is tasked with designing, programming and fabricating an autonomous sailboat while gaining experience from other students and learning new skills outside of the classroom.

​

The mechanical team's focus is on the physical design and manufacturing of the boat -- hull, keel, rudder(s), sails, deck, motors, etc. 

​

My personal focus has been on overall sailboat design, SolidWorks design, laser cutting, 3D printing, fiberglassing, and painting. Within the team, I make a point to ensure all design ideas are heard, especially from new members.
