Overview

The project and my part

The project

Antihilator is a 12 lb combat robot with a vertical kinetic weapon, built by UCI ACE Robotics. I was a chassis engineer on it from January 2025 to January 2026.

My part

  • Helped design, prototype and refine the robot
  • Redesigned mechanical parts such as the drivetrain in SolidWorks for durability and manufacturability
  • Turned CAD models into practical, machinable parts with my teammates
  • Design reviews aimed at machining feasibility, shorter production time and less material waste
