Meeting Recap – 2010/11/3
Filed under Meeting NotesNov 5Hey everyone,
First, just a quick recap of last meeting: We now have 5 different ant weight designs that we will build. In addition there is a team of SWE people, so so far, we will have 6 robots for our competition.
We then had an open forum for the strengths, weakness, and issues of the 5 ant weight designs.
Some important points brought up:- Simplicity – easier to repair, easier to build, cheaper, less chance of failure
- Invertibility – Will you lose when flipped? Will you still be effective upside down?
- Tradeoffs – all designs have weaknesses and strengths, how to overcome and balance them?
And now, the moment you have all been waiting for: Signups
Here are the signups for the ant weights. Open the google document, fill out your name, email, and year underneath the robot you would like to join. There are no terms, conditions, prerequisites, or requirements. Do not be afraid to just put your name on a project that seems interesting. If you don’t know anything about design or mechanics, join a team and learn! These teams are made to be learning experiences.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
See you next week.
