Narcotic Network

We are narcotic network as the word narcotic means to relieve great pain and that’s our goal, we want to create a network of pain relief through our medicine delivery advice, furthermore we want to get rid of the negative stigma associated with narcotics and create something that improves society instead.

  • Our project goal is to create a network of medication delivery centered around a pharmacy using autonomous drones
  • There are many problems with the procurement of medication, it takes too long just to speak with staff, medication may not be ready by the time you show up.
  • This is for individuals that either cannot physically be in person to pick up medication at the pharmacy, those that cannot be at the pharmacy due to a time constraint or impatience, and for convenience.

Anteater Baja Racing Drivetrain

Baja SAE is a national colligate competition where teams compete to build and race an off-roading race vehicle. In this project the team is tasked to design, build, and test the drivetrain subsystem of the 2025 Baja SAE vehicle. The powertrain subsystem must be capable of AWD by delivering power to all 4 wheels, as well as being lightweight and robust enough to make Anteater Racing a feared competitor. The proposed powertrain design features a modified output shaft to the front wheels - greatly improving the performance of the front differential, a modular transfer case that is easy to interchange and will be used to test optimal gear ratios, and custom lightweight CV axles. Designs must adhere to all rules listed in the Baja SAE rulebook, while maintaining critical safety factors to prevent failures operating in extreme off-road conditions. The vehicle must be built and tested prior to the Oregon competition in May 2025.

High Tech Art Exhibit - The Interactive World of Anteaters

Inspired by large-scale, immersive art installations such as those created by Meow Wolf, the goal of this project is to create a similarly interactive exhibit on a small scale. Users may interact with the small-scale exhibit in several ways, but the primary mode of engagement is through a user interface which permits a user to move a small figurine around a flat surface. The system responds dynamically to user input, providing visual and auditory feedback based on the figurine’s location, and includes mechanical actuation to breathe life into the environment. The exhibit is themed after the UCI campus, featuring an anteater figurine as the user’s character.

StairForce 1 | Stair Climber (Team 26)

Background

This project focuses on designing a ground vehicle that addresses real-world accessibility and mobility challenges of climbing up the stairs. Competition with two other MAE 151 teams will take place to see who can achieve the fastest successful climb of the stairs outside Engineering Gateway while simultaneously transporting a 0.5 L water bottle.

Goal & Objectives

Flapping Wing Micro-Air Vehicle

About Us

Humans have achieved flight, yet birds and insects still surpass man-made aircraft in agility and control. The Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle (FWMAV) team seeks to uncover how nature achieves such mastery. By studying creatures like hummingbirds and dragonflies, engineers analyze the unsteady aerodynamics and nonlinear mechanisms that enable efficient, stable flight.

FLAM@UCI

The goal of the FLAM@UCI project team is to collaboratively construct a museum-quality restoration of a 1918 Curtiss JN-4D "Jenny," an iconic World War I-era biplane used primarily for training U.S. military pilots. The restored aircraft will be non-flying but must accurately represent the original aircraft in dimensions, appearance, and structure, down to the materials, methods, and finishes wherever possible. The Curtiss JN-4D will be a featured piece at the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum, currently being built in Irvine Great Park.

Design-Build-Vertical Flight

The DBVF (Design-Build-Vertical Flight) competition is an eVTOL (electric-powered remote-control vertical take-off and landing) vehicle competition where university students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and familiarize themselves with eVTOL and AAM (advanced air mobility). 

Student teams annually design, build, and test an eVTOL aircraft to meet specific objectives and attend a flyoff in Maryland, where they are scored on their ability to meet those objectives. 

UCI’s DBVF team AeroZot currently consists of members who are split into subteams to develop the airframe, hardware, software, and the financing of the eVTOL.

HyperXite 10

Summary

HyperXite is a multidisciplinary undergraduate student team at UC Irvine dedicated to creating sustainable transportation technology through innovative research and development. Our project aims to revolutionize high-speed travel by designing and building a small-scale, self-propelled train pod that validates system models, incorporates important sustainable technologies, and proves the feasibility of Hyperloop and magnetic levitation concepts.
