cam-track was a project to develop a camera tripod that used computer vision and a pan-tilt mechanism to track a subject autonomously. I was the mechanical lead for this project, responsible for designing the pan and tilt mechanism and the head of the tripod. This project was formative for me because it taught me the importance of taking small steps and creating numerous prototypes for each function of the design. I built just two prototypes of the entire mechanism for my part of this project. This left the final design with issues that could have been easily resolved if I had broken the design into its different functions and made small prototypes along the way.
