This past spring, Ethan Fahnestock (‘21), our Data Acquisition Lead at the time, began a senior design project centered around turning a previous Baja vehicle into an electronically controlled vehicle. With the semester cut short and with garnered interest of the project, the team decided to turn it into a Project Team Lead position.

 

 

This fall, the team is focusing its efforts to refine designs for control mechanisms for the brakes, accelerator, and steering, while taking advantage of the team’s new 3D printer. In the spring, the team is hoping to build an autonomy architecture on top of these control systems. If you are interested in learning more about this new position, please email Ethan at efahnest@u.rochester.edu.
