Cam Collins

Cam Collins is a practicing mechanical engineer in the aerospace and defense industry by day and a combat robotics enthusiast by night. He is one of the founding members of Team Ribbot and has risen to become the lead mechanical engineer and co-captain of the team. Through his experience in industry, Cam has developed a solid foundation in the concepts of electromechanical packaging, which he is able to apply to the design of Ribbot’s custom motor and electronic speed controller (ESC) designs.

Before beginning his career in defense, Cam earned a BS and MS in mechanical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), where Team Ribbot was originally founded. Through the rigorous curriculum and project-based learning at WPI, Cam developed a strong theoretical and practical background in engineering. His knowledge base has grown over the last several years in developing custom electronics packaging solutions to meet difficult environmental requirements for a variety of applications. Cam’s background in combat robotics and high-performance electronics enables him to help lead Team Ribbot in their pursuit of a World Championship.
