There’s another meeting today. We’ll be going over what’s left to be done on Kraken and the 3 lb beetles.

Beetles meeting!
On Tuesday, we’ll meet in EBU2 room 204 to work on designs for the 3 lb robots. If you haven’t joined a group, it’s still not to late to tag on.
The meeting will probably last around 2-3 hours.
