Robotics Competition
Pictures from the Robotics Competition In Richmond, Virginia on Thursday - Saturday March 1-3, 2007. I was representing EC Glass High School along with my robotics club team mates.
My CNC Milling Machine Project
I am currently working on a CNC milling machine I designed for the 2007 CVCC competition. I have received some funding for it but I still need a lot more money to complete my project. I would appreciate any financial backing for my project and I will give full credit on my website to your company or any individual who will help me achieve this goal. You can donate online through Paypal. Be sure to email your companies logo to me so I can give proper credit for your generosity Michael@Engineerutopia.com
If you can help me out with actual materials I need that would be as useful as any monetary donation. Here is my list of items and estimated costs below.
My Educational Goals, Interests and Hobbies.
I will be attending Rutgers University School of Engineering in the fall of 2007. I want to become a Mechanical Engineer also focusing on Electrical Engineering and Computer Programing. Besides engineering I also love wrestling. Although I had to give up wrestling in High School in order to pursue my engineering interest. In Rutgers I will resume wrestling once again. I am not planning on wrestling professionaly since that would stop me from pursuing my career objective. I am planning on wrestling more or less at my convenience. Wrestling is a great way to keep in shape mentally and physically.
