Meet Team Techno

Picture
I am Nate Krall - one half of TeamTechno. I am a year-round competitive tennis player who enjoys all kinds sports: football, soccer, basketball, golf, and of course, tennis. I am a skier, hiker, camp counselor, tennis volunteer, and an engineer. Throughout and beyond these activities, I maintain a true passion for learning. The main attribute of mine that powers this passion is my desire to problem solve. The process of brainstorming, strategizing, and executing a solution to a problem truly excites me, no matter how much effort or frustration it may take. And when the solution execution involves my favorite fields of math, science, and engineering (especially mechanical), I am only more eager to pursue it. All of this together makes the TechnoCart a perfect project for me. Zach and I must power through countless issues and roadblocks through our design and construction process, and I am ready for it.

I am Zach Roberge - the other half of TeamTechno. I am an avid football player and track athlete specializing in discuss and shotput and represent the Severn School in my work. I am an aspiring engineer and am looking to enter either the field of Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering. I have a strong interest in computers and successfully built my own PC over the course of the 2020 winter. I have always been interested in the engineering process and love to spend my free time learning about the ergonomic thought and engineering behind things we use in our everyday lives. I incorporate this interest in our effort to create the TechnoCart, in which we will go through our own design process to create a product that solves an issue, meets set requirements, and overall looks aesthetically pleasing. I can't wait for our project to come to fruition.

Our Design Process

We are using the 3D design software SolidWorks to fully 3D model and render our idea for the TechnoCart.

Our Construction Process

We will use T-slot aluminum extrusions from the company  80/20  to frame our full scale TechnoCart during assembly.

Our School

With the help of the Van Eney '09 Fellows Program within our Severn School, we plan to complete our project by April of 2022.


Our Goal


The TechnoCart is a vehicle for us to build understanding of design, 3D modeling, electrical, mechanical, structural engineering, as well as project execution in general. But, sharpening our engineering skills is not our overall goal. The TechnoCart, when fully constructed, will transform the capabilities of our Severn Robotics team. Not only will it organize and better the performances of the robotics team, our TechnoCart will hopefully inspire many of Severn's students to join the team, increasing the impact the club and team has on Severn culture.

 The TechnoCart can support generations of Severn Robotics teams. We hope to provide future Severn students with a truly unique and innovative resource to pursue interest in robotics. This process is important to us; robotics is arguably the fastest growing and one of most important scientific fields in the world. If we can motivate Severn, and hopefully beyond just our own school, to orient towards the ever-important fields of robotics and engineering, we will have made an impact--an impact that is the core of our project goal.
