Mars Rover & Voltage Stepdown hub

The Mars Rover is the largest project built by the Ryerson Rams Robotics (R3) team at Ryerson University. The rover was created for the University Rover Challenge, a robotics competition where many universities from around the world come to compete in rover related missions. The rover is designed entirely by students and from scratch. Everything is custom built such as the wheels, control PCBs and software. I designed and created a modular board with variable buck converters to power the entire rover.

I lead 60 + team members as the controls systems lead with all things regarding controlling of the rover. This includes PCB construction, robot path planning in Python, embedded systems in C/C++, and UI development. The voltage stepdown hub is one of my proudest contributions to the rover.
