Harvard Competition

On February 1st, 2019 I attended the Make Harvard Engineering Competition. My team and I built a fully autonomous Drone and Drone Port Pad System.

Adding the Flight controller module

Measuring the wingspan and Chassis.

Final Prototype of Drone launch platform. Parts included: 2 LCD screens, 1 backup battery supply, back-up parts, sonar sensor, gps sensor, weather sensor, led lights, cameras, wireless antenna and receiver.

Harvard Engineering Labs. We used the band-saw, laser-cutter and also painted the drone in the lab.

Charles and I painting the Carbon-Fiber frame. It took forever to dry!

Another Harvard student's project. It was a railgun! Built in 2 days. This engineering competition had the most incredible creative projects I've seen. Afterwards we competed with the other students and submitted our final project to the judges.

Overall I had a great time and learned alot. Harvard is one of the top universities in the world and I was honored to be invited to compete there. Stay tuned for more at Konnex!

Love the Harvard Staff Team!
