Hi-
I was a Cooney Robotics member from 03-05. Yes, Ray, I do miss using those noisemakers, but I still have two in my closet. I'm really grateful that Robotics is still going so strong - it gave me a great foundation in metalshop skills, and we just talked about Tetras in my metallurgy class this afternoon.
I'm studying mechanical engineering at the University of North Florida (UNF) in Jacksonville, FL and plan to graduate in Spring 2010.
Last year, I worked for a small civil engineering company on two separate projects. We helped introduce local coal ash into roadway pavement applications (one project was 160 acres and used more than 150,000 tons of ash) and studied how accurately new mechanical devices describe roadway pavement friction (to determine when roads need to be re-paved).
I'm now working on a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell project at UNF. We are developing small fuel cells (the size of a deck of cards) to power laptops for the Army. I do a lot of 3D modeling and shop work for this project - its a great time.
Thanks for doing this.
