Designing for Determinism in Robotics Frameworks

An in-depth exploration of why deterministic behavior is critical in robotics frameworks, covering scheduling strategies, timing constraints, and real-time operating system considerations.

Empowering an All-Girls FTC Team: Math, Code & Robotics in Power Play

During the FTC 2022–2023 Power Play season, I mentored a brand-new all-girls robotics team (Team 21595) through hands-on workshops in linear algebra, control theory, computer vision, and collaborative software engineering. Over eight months, they learned to build a competition-ready robot, tune PID loops, and deploy vision pipelines, all while mastering Git workflows and Java subsystems.
