Sept. 30th meeting

We did not make a decision on whether we are going to work on Andros or Andros and Techbot. Then Dr. Canfield suggested that we separate each robot into little projects and whoever is interested can contact the leader of the project. If you are interested in becoming a leader of a project contact Tristan or Ben.

The current leaders
Andros:

Mechanical Work- Tristan
Software- Ben
Techbot:

Mechanical- Tristan
Low-Level Control- Ben
High Level Control- Ben
Formulate Robot Control Architecture- Tristan
Sensors- Tristan

The leaders of these projects need to turn in to Timmy their 606 money requests by the end of Saturday.

If anyone is interested in advancing the algorithm used on the SICK lasers, that could be a project if you wanted to work on it.
Another project is syncing the SICK laser with the vision system.

If you are interested in a tutorial about the code on Andros, Ben is going to be at the lab at 10:00 Saturday to help those people.
A lecture will be given by Ben after the organizational meeting, next Wednesday. It will last about 45 minutes. The topic of this lecture is introduction to Python Programming. This is the type of programming used on Andros, so this will be very beneficial to new programmers.
