At Pitt, the Robotics and Automation Society is constantly looking to innovate and increase membership from new students. I was a co-lead for a project that was as technically interesting as it was whimsical. We set out to create Erasinator, the whiteboard erasing robot.

In a complete change of scope as a Mechanical Engineer, I was responsible for creating a PCB design that powered the wheel motors, color sensors for detecting whiteboard marker, 9-axis MPU, teensy 3.2 microprocessor, and limit switches. To accomplish this, I worked with some of the electronics gurus on our team to learn Autodesk Eagle PCB Design software.
