Sebastion Jenson's Professional Portfolio
FRC Idaho Regional Winners
I first learned to love robotics in my high school robotics team, Red Rock Robotics. Here I was able to build competencies with all sorts of power tools, horizontal and vertical bandsaws, and most importantly to me; CAD, CAM, and 3D printers. With our robust (kick proof) design, strong autonomous software, and my own designs for a 3D printed claw and rope climber, I was able to help lead our team through regionals onto the Championship in Texas as team captain. Our robot was also awarded General Motor's Industrial Design Award because of its resilient design.
Custom Designed 3D Printed Electric Skateboard
Ever since riding a friend's electric skateboard in China back when they were newer to the market, I've been hooked! But I have to do it my way. What you see here is the underside of my V2 electric skateboard. The deck consists of one fully 3D printed unibody design enclosing the open source motor controller (VESC 4.2), a 10s2p battery pack with 18650s and a BMS, as well as an anti-spark XT90 connector for charging, a radio for a remote, and an LED power button.
3D Printer Management
Over my 3 years at the Marriott Library's Protospace, I have helped transition from 12 printers, to 50+ 3D printers and many more users! This has helped train a lot of mechanical skills (printer assembly, belt and bearing maintenance), electronics skills (troubleshooting motor drivers, limit switches), and software skills (firmware modification and compilation, python automation, networking and general Linux experience).
Fixturing and Design Work
I have been able to work with many students and employees on their projects at the U, whether it is facilities replacing a hundred broken mops, helping blood labs improve microscope usability to comply with Covid-19 guidelines, or helping tweak and print enclosures and casings for new MRI technologies. I have been able to help many a senior design project and learned about all sorts of on campus research and jobs.
Technically Challenging Projects
One thing I have never had a shortage of is people coming to me with crazy constraints. I have had a unique opportunity to share the ideals of DFM (Design For Manufacturability) with many hundreds of engineering students at the U. This allowed me to dramatically improve my technical communication abilities, and help tricky projects come to fruition.
