Two years with Moldova’s national team at FIRST Global: the extended team in Athens, the main team in Panama. In 2025 we built an eight-legged robot that plants trees on degraded slopes. I wrote its code in C++.

How it works
- 01
The problem
Moldova wants new forest on land wheels can’t handle: steep, eroded, degraded slopes. The national afforestation programme runs to 2032.
- 02
The robot
Legs instead of wheels, so it keeps its footing where the ground gives way, with a mechanism on top that carries the sapling.
- 03
My part
The C++ that makes it move and plant. I programmed it for the 2025 season, my year on the main team.

Panama
Gold in Innovation in Engineering, Moldova’s fifth podium in a row, and an honourable mention for the octopod itself.
