The Build: Autonomous EV3 rescue robot engineered for the 2024 OBR competition, built to solve dynamic line navigation and victim sorting under strict hardware constraints.
The Hardware: Hacked a standard EV3 port to drive two legacy RCX motors simultaneously, doubling torque and speed for the claw mechanism.
The Victim Classifier: Designed a custom crab-claw mechanism lined with copper wire that instantly identified conductive "live" victims by using the metal bodies to complete an analog circuit on contact.
