I also configured SeaSearcher’s GoPro cameras to play nicely with commands from our microcontrollers, and painstakingly placed and soldered each component of our custom circuit boards designed by my teammate Jay. When our first waterproofing tests of an O-ring gasket in our hull battery enclosures failed due to more flexing than anticipated in our fiberglass lid (resulting in insufficient compression of the O-ring and thus leaks) – I repurposed our original flat rubber gasket design to yield sustainable IP68 seals. I also designed and machined our collapsing bridge beams to achieve suitcase-sized portability - a key customer metric - without compromising our craft’s stability. This project was done in collaboration with Nikhil Chari, Alex Andalia, Thomas Macchio, Eric Quesada, and Jay Fleisher.

As a team leader I helped guide our down-selection of possible solutions to settle on a catamaran floating drone. I found quick and inexpensive materials for our very first prototype. I and my teammate Alex created pontoons from four polyethylene foam rollers band sawed to a hydrodynamic shape and zip-tied to a ¼” thick plywood bridge. With recycled motors, a donated microcontroller and a waterproof acrylic electronics enclosure (sealed with silicone and an EPDM rubber gasket) the first SeaSearcher prototype set sail in a pool, for testing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fb9418cd76e61f9a2f075a/f85b1325-6054-4f6a-a5aa-5835cd96ce99/boat-front-underwater_orig.jpg Portfolio -
