Hey, I'm Brooke.

Welcome to my little patch of internet. Take a tour of my favorite projects over the years.

ROBOTICS

Robotics has always been one of my favorite activities, due to the unique teamwork experience it provides. Over the years, I’ve gotten the chance to collaborate and compete on some incredible teams with incredible people.

VRC Team 4393S

My first year on a Vex team was at the Maine School of Science and Mathematics. We qualified for the World Championship, and my programming netted us the highest number of autonomous ranking points in the State Championship.

VRC Team 344R

For junior and senior year, I helped start Scarborough HS's robotics teams. As a rookie team, we also qualified for the World Championship in 2020.

SUMMER 2020 PROJECTS

I’ve worked on a variety of personal “learning by doing” projects to help strengthen my skills. In summer 2020, due to the pandemic, I found myself with plenty of time at home, so I decided to focus on a few ambitious projects.

Vibrance

I built Vibrance, a tool that synchronizes computers and smartphones to display configurable animations and effects. My goal was to create something useful for my brother and to learn more about optimizing computer networking and latency.

Local Positioning System

I designed and developed a simple, calibration-free, vision-based local positioning system intended for use with robotics. Doing this project helped me build real-world experience in computer vision and linear algebra.

OTHER COOL STUFF

Outside of that summer, I worked on quite a few smaller projects. Here are a couple of highlights.

Breqbot

During the pandemic, my friends and I spent a lot of time hanging out on Discord. So I made a Discord bot with minigames and utilities to add some character to our online space.

STMusic

For a homework assignment, I was tasked with building a simple game for a STMicro Discovery board. I took it one step further, adding sound capabilities to the device to create a full Guitar-Hero-style game.

VERY OLD PROJECTS

I got started building these projects back in elementary and middle school. While most of them aren’t anything notable, here are a few I’m still proud of.

MakerGamer

MakerGamer was a virtual video game console designed to make game development as simple as possible and to encourage the sharing of games. It could play games written in Scratch, Python, and JavaScript, and it provided simple tools to modify the games people downloaded.

Pinewood Derby Car

A model car full of blinkenlights that I programmed when I was a small child. This was my first introduction to programming with C and Arduino.
