So yesterday, I came across a like to my old webpage on the UCR Engineering server. And boy, was it out of date! I gave it a through refresh. Have a look!

That’s right, my team has no name.

It’s still hard to come to grips with the fact that the quarter is nearly over. We’ve finished our senior design prototype (as shown below) and it works remarkably well. The crusher module takes a good deal of force to start, but it does a great job of actually crushing them. The winnower works surprisingly well – much better than that of the other groups.
