Our Team

Meet the Robotics Traveling Team, along with the project mentor and sponsor.

Freddy Riveria

Project Manager

Leads the project’s mechanical integration efforts, overseeing the design and assembly of two dynamic‑balancing robots. Manages international procurement and logistics to meet tight deadlines, and collaborates closely with the electrical team to ensure smooth implementation of PID‑based control systems.

 

Andres Gonzales

System Control Lead

Designs and tunes the control algorithms for both robots, including PID development, sensor integration, and real-time software behavior. Collaborates closely with the electrical team to ensure stable and accurate system response. 

Colin Parsinia

Manufacturing Lead (Robot 1)

Leads CAD modeling and fabrication for Robot 1, including 3D-printed components, mechanical assemblies, and fit-and-function testing. Ensures manufacturability, structural integrity, and compatibility with the electrical subsystem.

Florence Fasugbe

Manufacturing Lead (Robot 2)

Responsible for CAD development and prototyping of Robot 2’s mechanical components, including the dynamic beam mechanism and platform supports. Supports iterative testing and refinement based on system performance and client feedback.
