2022 – 2023Electronics, control, and assembly

A robot developed by Cranes in 2022–2023 for the RCJ Soccer Open. The team was made up of people from Okinawa and Hiroshima whom I had met at previous competitions.

I was responsible for electronics and control, as well as assembly.

As of spring 2024, this may have been the last time I worked seriously on electronics.
