Aggies Invent — Sensor Concept

In a 24-hour Aggies Invent design challenge, my team proposed a way to look for possible nuclear testing using a bhang sensor. Small actuators would aim the sensor toward selected geographic areas. The challenge was to shape a workable concept and communicate it clearly in a team presentation.

A concept in 24 hours

We worked through how a bhang sensor and a small actuator-based pointing arrangement might focus observations on areas of interest. The enclosure views illustrate the proposed package.

Making the case

The work centered on concept development, packaging, and presenting the proposal within the challenge window.

Design challenge

  • Format: 24-hour team design and presentation challenge.
  • Proposed approach: Bhang sensor with small actuators for pointing toward selected geographic areas.
