Advisor: Yevgeniy Yesilevskiy<br />
BoatBath&Beyond is an autonomous, easy-to-set up, robotic system designed to clean the hulls of<br />
boats ranging between 30ft to 150ft in length. The robotic system is comprised of 3 parts: a cabling<br />
system the extends around the edges of the boat, a robotic cleaning head that removes biofouling<br />
from the hull, and a slider that moves along the cabling system and control the position of the<br />
robotic head. This system was designed for affordability, portability, ease-of-use, and, most<br />
importantly, effective cleaning.<br />

TruckStop is a custom truck that has a built-in skateboard braking system for use on non-electrified<br />
skateboards. It consists of four servo motors and is controlled by a central computer. When the<br />
user presses the brake button on the handheld remote, the brake system will activate and gradually<br />
decelerate the rider to a stop. TruckStop was designed to make skateboarding safer and more<br />
enjoyable for beginners.<br />
