The Avoider 3000
Self-defending robot designed to avoid projectiles and navigate dangerous obstacles.
The Avoider 3000 was designed to avoid any obstacles or projectiles thrown towards it. Its sleek design uses one ultrasonic sensor, as its 'eyes' attached to a micro-servo as its 'neck'. It uses an Aruduino MEGA2650 as its 'brain'.
It can go anywhere without colliding with anything!

"Tiny but Mighty" - Haris Ali
Using a torsion spring connected to a DC motor, the Ooga Booga Bot is able to throw anything that comes towards it.
It looks for opponent bots, which triggers its flipper and it flips whatever was infront of it.
The SoapTray
This sleek, elegant yet useful piece of 3D-modelled art can be used as a soaptray.
The advancement in 3D printing has proven to show that engineering is a universe with endless possibilities. I used that knowledge to create a soaptray of my own desire!
Watch how I did it!

About Me
Greetings!
My name is Haris Ali, I'm a Canadian and Pakistani Citizen currently residing in Milton, Ontario. I love to swim, play ping-pong, and create epic stuff. Currently, I'm in the midst of my Bachelors of Mechatronics Engineering at McMaster University.
Recently, I co-founded McMaster Robo Sub, where we plan to create an autonomous robotic submarine to compete in the Robo Sub competition in Irvine. Along with that, I'm an engineering mentor at the McMaster Engineering Society, helping lower-years adjusting to university life.
I'm excited for the oppurtunites to come and thrilled to have the chance to create more awesome stuff.
