Robotics Society: President

As Treasurer this year, I've managed our finances and seen first-hand how our society operates and what our members want. I have learnt what works, what doesn't, and what we're capable of. I'm running to deliver consistency, ambition, and real growth.

Fortnightly Workshops: Our workshops this year were sporadic and unpredictable. I'm committing to consistent fortnightly sessions with both beginner and advanced levels, so everyone, from first-timers to experienced builders, has room to grow.

Hackathons: Two targeted events per term to keep our members engaged and building. A simulation hackathon for software robotics, and a CAD hackathon to sharpen design skills. These create momentum and build portfolios. 

Competition: A society that competes is a society that's serious. We're entering Unibots and putting ourselves on the map as competitive. This gives us a rallying point and attracts people who want to be part of something that wins but is accessible enough for students new to robotics.

Community & Partnerships: Robotics is about people. I'll organise non-technical socials to strengthen our bonds and build partnerships with Fleming Society, KCL Robotics and Queen Mary Electronics. These connections matter for recruitment, collaboration, and a stronger network.

I'm not making fantasy promises. These initiatives are realistic and deliverable because I understand our resources and constraints.

A successful Robotics Society requires more than just technical workshops; it needs real-world application of fundamentals in mechanical, electrical, and system design. I am standing for President to transform our society into the go to hub for hands-on experience building robots for competing in national competitions and research. My leadership approach is grounded in proven experience; I previously led a team of sixteen to compete in Student Robotics, a national robotics competition for students. This taught me how to align diverse skill sets to meet complex milestones that I will use to scale our society’s project ambitions. 

I am committed to the growth of our members. Currently, I am a Programming Tutor, where I mentor first-year students in C, DSA, and control. This role has given me a direct connection to what newer students want and need to succeed in this ever-expanding sector. 

As President, I will:

• Bridge the gap between theory and practice: I will organise robotic workshops that move beyond simulations into manufacturing mechanical systems and implementing advanced control systems.   
• Bring a competitive drive to the society: I will establish dedicated tracks for members to compete in competitions ranging from small inter-uni competitions to international robotics challenges.
• Foster Research Collaboration: Drawing from my experience in research, I want to create a research pipeline where all members can join and lead teams in cutting-edge robotics and AI research.
