It's VAH-suh-poh-loh
Mechanical Engineering sophomore, expecting to graduate with the class of 2018 or pursue an accelerated masters.
Skills: Solidworks, designing in No Limits roller coaster simulator, cooking ramen, doing maff.
Likes: Sleep, coffee, my friends, physics, having something to do on the weekends
Dislikes: Being asked if I am 13, and then being told I'll appreciate it when I'm older
Fears: Working at a supermarket for the rest of my life, giraffes (it's a long story)
Fun Fact: I learned the hard way that you shouldn't put velveeta in the microwave without water

With my degree I'd like to go on to design roller coasters and travel the world.

Here is my solid model of the chassis
