North High School T-Shirt Tank
Led a team in combining a FIRST Robotics tank chassis with a T-shirt cannon, developing a custom CO₂ release system, and creating software to operate it.
Overview
A high school engineering project that combined a FIRST Robotics tank chassis with a T-shirt cannon.
My role
Team lead.
Approach
- Combined a FIRST Robotics tank chassis with a T-shirt cannon.
- Developed a custom CO₂ release system.
- Later built in-house software to operate the machine.
Challenges· placeholder
- Fitting a cannon and a gas system onto a chassis that was never designed to carry either.
- Getting the release mechanism to behave the same way every time it was fired.
Results· placeholder
- The team finished the build and saw the whole design work end to end.
Lessons learned
- Connecting engineering design with fabrication, controls, and team leadership.

Placeholder wording — Jack's own note coming
“This project taught me how a build actually comes together — and how much of the work is keeping a team pointed the same direction.”
