Pinball Machine
As a personal project since the Fall of 2022, I have been making a pinball machine. Thus far, I have created working electronics for the flippers, bumpers, slingshots, lights, display and point calculator. I have also created a CAD model of the whole machine and have 3D printed selected parts for testing. Learn more on this specially dedicated page. |

Eyeglass Light
After watching my family struggle to read the menu at dimly lit restaurants I designed a sleek, easy to manufacture, light which sits comfortably on the arms of a pair of eyeglasses. The light is turned on by a pushbutton on the side. This allows for easy and elegant use at restaurants by merely tapping and holding the outside of the case to read, and then removing one's finger when speaking to others. The simple solution ensures one does not accidentally shine the light in others' eyes. |

Blue Devil Halloween Zoetrope
What would you do if you needed to give candy to kids without adult supervision?...Build a zoetrope of course. This project used a strobe light and motor to spin 3D blue devil figurines. The strobe light tricks your eye, similar to a flipbook, into thinking the models are animated. Then a specified amount of candy is dispensed for the children. Reactions to working zoetrope

Interactive Card Playing Robot
In August of 2019 I was awarded 2nd place in the NSW state Year 12 division of the Young ICT Explorers (YICTE) competition. It is also featured on CMU PixyCam's Official Website. I won this second place award for an Interactive Card Playing Robot I designed and constructed. My robot played the classic Italian card game "Briscola" by reading its own cards, thinking of its own moves and dealing the card that it had decided to play. My Briscola Robot is built using only a LEGO EV3 kit and Carnegie Mellon's PIXYCAM 1 vision camera. The PIXYCAM can output colour codes to the EV3 via its cable connection. You can see this interaction in action in the embedded video. |
