Bottle Trap Project Overview – CAD Drawings and Prototyping

For the Design of Mechanical Systems course at the Illinois Institute of Technology, my group and I brainstormed and did prototypes for a couple ideas. More on the final project can be found here. Brainstorming and Prototyping  

During the Design of Mechanical Systems course at Illinois Institute of Technology, students participated in a Sketch Model Challenge. It is a is a friendly dodgeball type of competition that takes place between student groups. The groups must create a device that is capable of being pushed/pulled by one person (the driver) such that the personContinue reading “Sketch Model Challenge”

Abstract:  The goal of the project is to design and build an automated ingredient dispenser for dry baking and cooking goods. The functional requirements were to make the dispenser quick (dispense in less than 10 seconds); accurate (+-5% weight tolerance), have variety of volume measurement (3 kinds of volume) and have variety of ingredient toContinue reading “Automated Ingredient Dispenser”

The purpose of this personal project was to install a sound system which would play sound inside and outside of the car (holes were cut into a “spare” trunk). This idea wasn’t based on trying to play music, but I wanted to play sounds of different car engines. So a little Kia Rio might beContinue reading “Project Kockica”

The goal of the project was to design and build a chair that could hold an 80kg person.

The goal of the project was to build a bio-inspired robot that would walk for 4.9m one way and 4.9m back.

The goal of this project was to design and build a functional trebuchet that would be able to launch a 27g rubber ball more than 12m.
