Team: Beat FSU Robot: McManzo Fall 2014 EGN 1935: ECE Adventures! Team members Stephen Slogar Luke Santore Ryan Oliver Matt Manzo Byron George Team: Beat FSU Robot: McManzo Fall 2014

Meet the Squad! (Squad member 1) Stephen Slogar I am a first semester freshman My major was Electrical Engineering but I switched to Mechanical Engineering (and may possibly switch to ISE or Mathematics) I learned how to program a robot This course has made me consider different career paths I plan on rushing ΚΦΕ next semester and figuring out my major in the next two semesters. I also plan on getting more involved in my church and IM sports. I want to work for a large company and stay on the east coast. During your first semester make sure you get yourself out there. Introduce yourself to people.

Squad Member 2 Luke Santore I am a sophomore Major is mechanical engineering What I learned was how to work as a team and some programming This class makes me not want to go into programming My plans at UF include: getting involved in engineering, leadership, sports, and internships Apply what you learn during lecture in your lab

Squad Member 3 Ryan Oliver I am a freshman My major of choice is mechanical engineering From participating in this class I learned about the various engineering opportunities provided by the MIL organizations on campus This course confirms my interest in pursuing robotics in my future. My goals are to continue my involvement in FLEG and the Chi Phi fraternity. My career plans are to be an engineer. I do not know what type of engineer yet. My words of wisdom are to learn time management early. It comes in handy throughout college.

Squad Member 4 Matt Manzo I am a freshman As of now my major is exploratory engineering I learned of all the opportunities provided by the MIL and basic information about computer/electric engineering This course confirms my interest in pursuing a degree in computer engineering/science I plan on continuing my involvement with Pi Lambda Phi fraternity, and other organizations such as Campus Diplomats and Engineering Ambassadors My career plans are to be involved with engineering in some field I am truly passionate about My words of wisdom are to be friendly with everyone and make connections all throughout college. It's the little things like this that'll come a long way when it comes to applying for internships and jobs.

Squad Member 5 Byron George I am a freshman My major at the moment is computer engineering After taking this class I learned of all the awesome things the MIL organization does and basic knowledge of electric and computer engineering This course makes me excited to pursue a degree in computer engineering My plan is to get more involved in leadership opportunies around campus Career wise I want to find a job that I will hopefully enjoy going to Words of wisdom: Stay on top of work and try your best not to fall behind

McManzo Story McManzo was the first robot maze runner. He seemed a little timid at first going in, but as he trekked through his confidence went up. Avoiding the walls better than any human maze runner could ever hope to. He knew immediately where to turn and where to go. Nearing the final turn we could see the determination in his sensors. His motor roared just a bit louder as he pushed himself for the home stretch. Then in one harmonious tone McManzo signaled that he had made it.

Squad Conclusions Together we learned how to set aside our differences and work towards one common goal as a team.Our words of wisdom are to never give up and to apply what you learn during lecture in your lab.
