Classes, of course, will take a major amount of my time. My largest time commitment, however, will be my work on the Formula team (a team of 70ish students that design, manufacture, and compete with a Formula One-styled racecar every year). This year, my projects include the torque vectoring and traction control modules, as well as pioneering the perception module for potential driverless implementation. I'm super stoked for it, but will no doubt take an insane amount of work.
