01WhatWhere it started.
I was the programmer of my high school's robot competition team. At the 2016 World Championship we won the Judge Award and reached the Top 16.

- 90%
- time saved by the auto-program versus manual
02HowAn auto-program for loading and launching.
While preparing for the competition I wrote an auto-program for the robot to load and launch, saving 90% of the time compared with doing it by hand. We shared it, and all our allied teams used it.
03LearnedMore than code.
This was the start of my robot programming. I learned more than robot programming: I learned the complicated relationship between client and developer — in this case, my robot driver and me.
