Team Description

We write the code that runs on the students' robots, relaying the signals sent by the student on their controllers to the servos, motors, and sensors on the robots. This project is all about the low-level machinery that makes the robots work!

Hey guys! I'm a sophomore studying EECS and/or ME, and I grew up here in the Bay. I want to go into clean energy and clean transportation in the future. In my spare time, I like speedcubing, learning about astronomy, taking photos, and making tutorials. I'm in the Yali's in Sutarja Dai for a couple hours every day, you can come find me there, I'm down to chat about anything!

Team Description

Join in on tasks like field construction and being a referee. The highlights of Game Implementation are the ease of joining and the large impact we cause. All you need to bring is time to invest and we’ll get you working on projects that are fundamental to the competition. Your handiwork will even be displayed and used by all the high school students.

I am the second best melee player in PiE. I don't actually live in 101 ok. My snapchat name is a nickname from my freshman year of high school. I think I study math but I'm not even sure anymore. I hope to graduate in 2020. I built the brown stained table in 101. I feel cool thanks for asking.

Team Description

Education focuses on teaching workshops at events for students and teaching a DeCal for mentors in the Spring! We also have a fall project called PRB (Pie on the Road), where we make a smaller robot kit and bring it out to non-pie schools to spark interest in PiE or robotics in general. Our workshops vary from technical workshops like PiE API and Game Management to non-technical workshops like the Diversity workshop. DeCal is probably our biggest time commitment, as we run weekly classes and work on improving our curriculum. Education is a great project for learning about all the aspects in PiE and really connecting with the students and mentors!

Bio

I'm a sophomore and an intended Psychology major. I joined PiE last year, and I was also a PiE student in high school (Go PV!). I enjoy playing video games, watching anime, and I have way too many stuffed animals.

Team Description

DevOps maintains things behind the scenes to help keep them working properly, like setting up the config files for the Raspberry Pi's and automating their connection to their routers upon start-up, for example.

Bio

I'm a sophomore from the Philippines who enjoys reading and playing video games like Fire Emblem Three Houses and Smash Bros. Ultimate. My current CS interests include Artificial Intelligence and Video Game Development (and how they go hand in hand in making escort missions all the more fun for us players)!

Team Description

At PieSens, we design, build and maintain actuator controls and sensors for the robot ranging from motor control boards to distance sensor boards. Skills we teach include embedded programming, PCB design (Eagle) and others.

Bio

I am a sophomore in EECS interested in Robotics and CS in general. Feel free to shoot me any questions on Facebook @GaryYang2000 :)

Team Description

PiE Sens is one of the two projects in PiE Electrical. Members of the team go through an iterative design process to put together our electrical system. The staff goes through a brainstorming phase to collect ideas on what sensors are required for the game. Then, the sensors are prototyped and then translated into a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). We teach the staff how to use industry level PCB software to route our boards before having our sponsors send us the completed boards. We then manufacture the boards in house to test and revise.

Bio

I am currently a sophomore in EECS. I like robots, cats, and anime. Feel free to email me at [email protected] with any questions! :)

Bio

Hi there! My name’s Matthew, and I’m a second year CS major from the Bay Area. When I’m not fostering Dawn's culture, I like to spend my time drawing, making video games, and perfecting my (really bad) New Zealand accent. Fun fact about me: I can lick my elbow.

Team Description

Shepherd is a coding project that is instrumental to every PiE competition. We call ourselves Shepherd because we shepherd all the parts of the field and, more importantly, so we can eat shepherd's pie. At competitions, everything that happens on the game field ends up going through Shepherd, so if we don't have our stuff together, nothing is going to work. :')

Bio

Hi, I'm a sophomore majoring in Computer Science! I came for the free pie, stayed for the fun times. Programming and robots are cool too I guess.

Hello, I am a sophomore majoring in computer science. In my free time I enjoy watching and playing basketball. Feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Team Description

I oversee the in-house and outsourced manufacturing of the parts for the PiE base kit.

Bio

I am a sophomore Mechanical Engineering major with an EECS minor. I am also doing research in printed batteries at the printed electronics lab in Cory Hall. Where exactly is this lab? 420 Cory. You'll get to know it throughout the year. I can offer help with some of the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, so please give me a shout-out if you get stuck. If you like being chaotic, I might be the right person for you. My name on Slack as of now is @Onesie. I look forward to working with you!

Hey there! I'm a 3rd year CS major helping out with the Dawn and Infrastructure teams. I'm very much interested in building software that can directly impact people, and PiE was the perfect club for me in that sense! :)

pineapple and pizza are mutually exclusive

I like to play badminton and I love working with little kids. I like to create websites and try different ethnic foods!

Hello, my name is Jeffrey Wu. I'm planning to study computer science, and maybe, double major with economics.

Hi! I'm a freshman studying Computer Science, Data Science, and Business Administration. In addition to PiE, I'm part of the Cal Band, AFX Dance, and Berkeley Solar Car.

Bryant lived a fairly ordinary life, but that all changed one night when, while walking home from the cinema, he witnessed his own parents being murdered in front of his very eyes. From then on, he swore he would protect his city and its citizens so no one would have to suffer as he did. He would save his city. However, he recognized that, as a man, he was flesh and blood: he could be ignored, he could be destroyed; but as a symbol... as a symbol he could be incorruptible, he could be everlasting. To do that, he had to become someone else. He had to become something else. But then he got accepted into Berkeley, so he scrapped those plans and now he's studying engineering.

Hi My name is Aryaman. I'm from London. In my free time I love to go sailing and climbing. I also love building stuff and I'm always switching between wacky robotics projects. Can't wait to meet all of you and have a great competition.

Hi! I'm Jennessa and I'm really into learning everything that has to do with computer science and robotics :)

please check out and subscribe to my youtube channel because I post yummy dessert recipes :) https://www.youtube.com/c/COLINary

I am passionate about technology and education. As the director of Tijuana Robótica, a non-profit in Mexico focused on the growth of STEM education access and technologies through robotics, I make a contribution to my community to the continuous development of scientists, engineers and leaders. With a research team at CiTRIS Labs here at Berkeley, we're studying lizards and replicating their motion through robotics. I love robots and enjoy cooking! PiE is a perfect combination of all.

I enjoy building cool stuff and dancing!

Hi, I'm a 2nd year EECS major from the Bay Area. If you like tennis, NBA, NFL, or comics (especially DC Comics), let's talk!

Hello!

Hiya! I'm into video games, cooking, exploring the city, going on spontaneous mini-trips, and watching anime/reading manga! If you're ever interested in hanging out, hit me up on Facebook/Slack/email me at chao(dot)norman(at)berkeley.edu and we can play some games together (I own a switch and a bunch of games on steam!), or maybe we can go on a short trip out of town (I can also drive you to Costco/safeway heh), or if you're feeling really spicy we can anime and chill (quite literally though.... unless???.... just kidding :3). I live on Southside and spend a lot of time either at home chilling or at mainstacks when I have a serious deadline the next day, but if you do see me on campus don't be afraid to say hi! :^)

I like computer science!

Hello, I’m Kai! This is my first semester at PiE and I’m excited to be a part of the Infrastructure Team! A random fact about me is that I am from Connecticut!
