About Me
Hi there, my name is Joaquin Ganoza. I am currently pursuing a Mechanical Engineering degree and have obtained my minor in International Spanish. I love to design and create using CAD and fabrication. In the past I have worked as an Mechanical Engineering Intern for the GLRC and this coming summer I will be an R&D Engineering Intern at Precision Planting.

Growbot:
This semester I worked on OSHE's newly funded EMI project, Growbot. For this semester, I was tasked to be the design lead for the robot. I was the one responsible for designing the robot in CAD and bringing it to life with parts designed within that software. The software chosen to remain in the open-source community was FreeCad, utilizing both its part and assembly modules to design and incorporate parts together one unit. The robots frame went through multiple iterations until as a team we decided on a design that would best fit our needs for future endeavors we expect to do with this robot. I worked with the electronics side of the team to determine the layout of components within the robot, as weight distribution would be a key part of how the robot handles. After establishing the location of internal parts, I built the frame around that initial chassis to tie the robot together . The frame is designed to be easily taken apart with a screwdriver, allowing maintenance to be an easy task along with ensuring others will have an easy time to build the frame pieces if chosen to be replicated. Currently I am working on 3D printing the rest of the components that complete the robot, such as the tank Tracks, Rail Frames, Guide Wheels, and Gearing.
