Troy Drescher // KingElrond
Computer Engineering student at UC Riverside building robotics, embedded systems, combat robot electronics, and autonomy projects. I like projects that leave the screen: vehicles, robots, control links, PCBs, arenas, and hardware that has to survive real testing.
Featured Work

Go-Kart Project

Large hands-on vehicle project involving mechanical assembly, electrical integration, controls, debugging, and practical system-level design.

F1TENTH Autonomous Racing

Autonomous racing platform work using ROS, Linux, simulation, sensor integration, and real robotics deployment workflows.

BattleTrack

Semi-autonomous BattleBot senior-design project combining sensing, controls, embedded systems, and practical robot integration.

Combat Robotics Electronics

Small robot electronics, powertrain integration, ESC research, receiver setup, wiring, repairs, and event-tested hardware debugging.
