Group Design Project — Summer 2024
Designed an automated card dealing system that shuffles, distributes, tracks, and evaluates Texas Hold’em poker hands.
Fully automated dealing and game resolution system
Supports multi-player Texas Hold’em gameplay
Achieves <8s deck shuffle requirement
Automated winner detection and hand evaluation
Reliable single-card separation during high-speed shuffling
Coordinated multi-stage mechanical sequencing (shuffle → deal → flip)
Maintaining consistent card tracking during distribution
Synchronization of mechanical motion and game logic
Designed integrated shuffler, flipper, rotary base, and dealer system in SolidWorks
Implemented control logic in C++ / RobotC
Tuned roller geometry for single-card feed reliability
Added deck weighting for consistent shuffling
Iterated card chamber geometry for alignment stability
Mechatronic system integration with emphasis on mechanical reliability and embedded control logic under multi-component coordination constraints.
