Cybersonics Technology Team
Team 103

This year, three people are on the Cybersonics Inventor crew: Logan Bonner, Kelsey Hvorecny, and Jonathan Weaver. The crew worked vigorously for six weeks. Our new mentor, Robert Thacker-Dey, came back to the team after two years of college work as an Aerospace Engineering Major at Penn State University. He has been the first mentor in two years to have helped progress move along smoothly. Logan Bonner headed the Inventor team, designing the launching and tower systems. Jonathan Weaver had designed the drive train and placed the robot.s electronics. Kelsey Hvorecny had designed the chassis system and modeled the robot.s wiring. The submission is completely student created.
