Hi, I'm
Mack Speiser
Designing smart, hands-on engineering solutions through creative mechanical design and real-world problem solving.
Featured Projects
A selection of my recent work showcasing design, development, and problem-solving skills.
Interstellar TARS Project
Designing and building a life-size articulated robot powered by custom cycloidal gearboxes and precision mechanical systems.
971 2025 Season Robot
Led my FRC team on all mechanical aspects of our 2025 season robot.
Ground Intake Subsystem
Prototyped, designed, assembled, and iterated on a ground intake for my FRC teams 2024 season.
UCSC Science Internship Program
Research intern investigating graphene quantum dot photocatalysts for water purification, independently proposing and synthesizing novel material systems using semiconductor band-gap engineering and data-driven experimentation.
My Manufacturing History
Led the design and scaling of a high-throughput manufacturing system, applying DFM/DFA, precision machining, and standardized workflows to rapidly produce reliable competition hardware at scale.
About Me
Hi, I'm Mack
I love designing in CAD, building real mechanisms, and turning ideas into things that actually exist. I got my start with FIRST Robotics on Team 971, where I spent years designing and manufacturing competition robots, learning how to build systems that have to work under pressure, not just look good on a screen.
I'm driven by curiosity and momentum more than anything else. If I see something that could be better, I want to tear it apart, understand it, and rebuild it cleaner and smarter. I like projects that push me into unfamiliar territory, where I have to iterate, improvise, and figure things out as I go — that's where I do my best work.
Let's collaborate and build something amazing together.
Get In Touch
I'm always interested in hearing about new projects and opportunities.
