Hello, Future Employer!
Welcome to my portfolio, thank you for taking your time to consider me for your company. As you can see, my name is Brad Ferguson, I'm an Electrical Engineering major. I love programming and robotics. I have a lot of real world experience in these areas, and I would like to continue to learn and improve my skills in my career.

A Few of My Projects
X-Cidium
Frank
The first robot my FIRST Robotics Competition team built while I was on the team. It played the game "Aerial Assist." We made it to the World Competition with it. Click below to learn more about Aerial Assist and FRC.
The second robot my FIRST Robotics Competition team built while I was on the team. It played the game "Recycle Rush." We made it to the regional finals. Click below to learn more about Frank and FRC.
Seige-O-Saurus-X
Darth SidiX
This is the third robot our FRC team built, during my senior year. It played "FIRST STRONGHOLD". It was by far the most advanced robot we have ever built using sensors and encoders to complete the difficult challenge of overcoming 9 different defenses and shooting balls into a tiny 8 foot high goal, and finally scaling the tower. We qualified for the world competition this year. To learn more, click below.
The fourth year, I was too old to be on the team, so I mentored, and helped a lot with the electronics. Our robot played in "FIRST Steamworks". We made it to the semifinals in two different regionals but were not able to make it to Worlds. Click below to watch the reveal video I made.
The Swerve Drive
In the summer of 2018 I had an idea for a new system of driving robots. I was really excited about it, and taught myself Inventor to figure out how to design it. I am in the process of 3D printing the parts, to assemble an extremely agile robot from scratch that can drive in any direction.
The Femtosat
This was the product of a semester's worth of work in BYU's Space Craft club. With a partner, I designed this circuit board, and soldered all the parts on. It is designed to fit in a model rocket and collect data including acceleration, gyro, temperature and pressure.
