Ultimo Destructo (2016)

Builder:

Sean J. Irvin

Job:

By day, Sean works as a Precision Mechanism design engineer for Harris Corporation. In a nutshell, Sean designs random mechanisms and other gadgets for the US Government. Don’t ask, he can’t tell you! Sean has both a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from THE Florida Institute of Technology

Years competing:

5 years

Favorite tool:

My favorite tool is either the Arbor Press (if brute force isn’t working, you are NOT using enough!) or a cordless drill (it really cuts down on the Carpal Tunnel!)

Favorite robot:

Jetfire and Omega Supreme from Transformers and the Maximodo 14 from Robot Jox

Interesting fact:
Sean is quite the oddity for a robot combat designer.  In his free time, he enjoys raising backyard chickens and playing the bagpipes… yes, he owns several kilts and has great knees!
