As team lead of UW REACT, organized an FRC Robot-in-3-Days event and built a ring-launching robot in 48 hours with five people.

The event

As team lead of UW REACT I organized a Robot in 3 Days hackathon: the challenge is unknown until the start, and you build a robot from nothing in 48 hours. With 30% of the turnout I'd planned for, four teammates and I, on about three hours of sleep, built a robot that takes rings and launches them into a goal, with plenty of trips to Canadian Tire and Home Depot despite heavy planning. It served as a reference for the high school teams who then had 6 to 8 weeks to build theirs.
