Contributed to FRCTeam360/RainMaker25 by delivering three autonomous robotics features focused on path planning, control systems, and embedded integration. Developed a reworked coral path planning module, updating waypoint coordinates and event markers to enhance navigation reliability. Improved the algae tilt mechanism by switching from a relative to an absolute encoder, increasing position tracking accuracy for better collection performance. Tuned drive train constants and PID gains to optimize robot responsiveness and throughput. All changes were implemented in Java and JSON, demonstrating expertise in robotics programming, system calibration, and hardware-software integration, with a strong emphasis on production-ready, traceable, and maintainable solutions.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (Month: 2025-02) — Delivered three high-impact autonomous capabilities and performance improvements for FRCTeam360/RainMaker25, strengthening reliability, harvest yield, and field readiness. Key features delivered: - Coral Path Planning Rework and New 3p Path: Refactored and renamed autonomous path; updated coral 3p path files with adjusted waypoint coordinates and elevator event markers; introduced Coral 3p Path 6.path. (Commit: 2e51dd10ea95e754bf29b32e2f73dc31253da948) - Algae Tilt Mechanism Precision Improvement: Fine-tuned tilt setpoints; updated default/controller positions; switched from relative to absolute encoder for more accurate position tracking to improve algae collection reliability. (Commit: 6babda9613eabfc8640fd8adc0d2351c5a2fa832) - Drive Train Tuning for Performance: Tuned drive train constants, PID gains, and feedforward for steer and drive motors; updated theoretical free speed to reflect new tuning for better robot performance. (Commit: 0697adc3684428a32aa1148b804f2cd3e2551783) Major bugs fixed: - No explicit critical bugs reported this month. Notable reliability and accuracy improvements were achieved through encoder updates and controller/tuning refinements. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Enhanced autonomy reliability for coral harvesting and algae collection due to improved planning, encoding, and control. - Increased mission throughput and decision confidence thanks to more accurate positioning and responsive drive behavior. - Clear demonstration of end-to-end path planning, precise actuation, and robust control loops in a production-ready configuration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Path planning and file/versioned path management; autonomous navigation. - Encoder integration (absolute vs relative) and position tracking accuracy. - PID and feedforward tuning; drive train constants; performance optimization. - System calibration, hardware-software integration, and deliverable documentation relationships (commit-level traceability).
