MRSD Comes Full-Circle

Let me tell you why our 13th cohort of MRSD is something special. We’ve come full circle in the coolest way possible.

For the first time ever, we’ve got an MRSD founded startup sponsoring one of our projects! Team ZAAPP is sponsored by moss.ag founded by Di Hu (MRSD 2023) and Shrijit Singh (MRSD 2023), beware unsuspecting weeds!

And that’s just the start of it. We’re breaking records left and right! This cohort is the first to roll in with a team of 6 people. Yep, you heard that right – 6! It’s the biggest squad we’ve ever had in MRSD history. And you thought it was hard making your ILRs unique.

We’ve got ground robots, drones, surgical robots and virtual reality avatars! So yeah, this cohort isn’t just your average group of students.

With a record number of 5 industrial sponsored projects this time, we’re paving the way, shaking things up, and having a blast while we’re at it!

We always gotta remember to source devel/setup.bash!

Austin not knowing anything ever and Kasina calling her self Moo Deng because she is both small and thai.

The electronics gods were pleased with our burnt offering of buck converters

Our drill breaks at the morning of FVD, but we manage to cutomized another drill to our use.
