TEAM DREAM TEAMROBOT: STEVE

BIO: THOMAS CHAVEZ

• Freshmen

• Electrical Engineering

• This course helped me gain a basic foundation on how robots function

• Hopefully I will be able to use the knowledge in future coursework, my career,

and possibly a personal project.

BIO: THOMAS CHAVEZ

• I plan to graduate in 2016 with a major in Electrical Engineering and a minor in

Physics

• I hope to work for a large national defense firm such as Lockheed Martin or

Northrop Grumman

• The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.

BIO: NICHOLAS BAGLEY

• Freshman

• Engineering (Exploratory)

• This course gave me a better understanding of programming and its real-world

applications.

• After taking this course, I am now leaning toward changing my major to either

Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.

BIO: NICHOLAS BAGLEY

• Now that I plan on majoring in EE or CE, I hope to get involved

in campus projects relating to these fields.

• I hope to acquire an internship next year that may eventually lead

to a job offer when I graduate from UF.

• Words of wisdom: There is so much to do on campus, so get

involved.

BIO: SEBASTIAN SOTO

• Freshman 2nd semester

• Mechanical Engineering

• Workings of a robot and being a part of a team

• Application for teamwork and building process

• Graduate as Mech Engineer and Minor in Entrepreneurship

• Obtain a job at in the automotive industry

ROBOT STORY

• Steve has just finished robbing a bank and must quickly escape to his hidden garage in order to avoid being captured by the popo.

• He swiftly speeds out the driveway with the law right on his tail. Steve is smart, so instead of taking the longer, easier route, he makes a hard right and pops a u-ey to throw the cops off his trail. They stood no chance with his Formula 1-style driving genius.

• From there it is smooth sailing to the garage where he can calmly count the fruits of his labor.

CONCLUSION

• This course has provided the three of us with the know-how necessary to work

within a team environment. The competitiveness to create the fastest, most

efficient robot taught us to take risks and not be afraid, which led to our

successful run at the quicker route through the maze. So basically do not be

afraid of what only seems harder and the surface. Work hard, take the risk, and

the result will speak for itself.
