UAS designs and builds uncrewed aircraft systems with associated mission payloads for two competitions annually. I joined the team in the Control Surfaces Subteam, where I ran airfoil and stability analysis and modeled the wings for testing. I learnt a lot about aerodynamics, and the principles of flight. 

Wanting to gain a bit more electrical and software exposure, I moved to the Payload Subteam where I had the opportunity to work on an autonomous rover. I collaborated with a teammate to implement a PID controller to correct the trajectory of the rover as it is fed with the coordinates of its destination. I was also able to gain some experience 3D printing various parts to improve the rover as well as waterjet cut carbon fiber sheets for the chassis.
