Humber Electromechanical Engineering Technology student whips up a robot in his free time.

In August 2020, second year Electromechanical Engineering Technology student Daneep Lahl was enjoying his full course load, but the online delivery meant he had a lot of time on his hands and little to do once he finished the work. 

Before partial campus closures in March, Lahl had been competing on a robotics team with a friend and qualified for an international championship, which was cancelled around the same time. For months, he was bored – until he was inspired to challenge himself.  

“It was also when I got my first job, so I had the money to buy a 3D printer,” he said. 

His goal was to build a remote-control robot from the wheels up.
