Items and Comments from Meeting

1. Vehicle Team
   • GOTChA chart needs to have more specific objectives, with timetables and quantitative requirements.
   • The deadline should be in the objectives.
   • The approach needs to directly address the technical challenges
2. Positioning Team
   • Timing is the major issue
     • Need a solution for the roof by Aug. 15
     • Need to maintain current vision capabilities in time for first competition.
   • Need to deal with other teams and scheduling--if the vision system doesn't work, hard for others to test.
   • It's most likely that the RFID system won't work quickly, so it's important to get the vision system up to full capability soon.
3. C2 Team
   • We need a 2nd, non-Roboflag command and control system.
   • Include quantitative objectives--how many vehicles to handle, what speed for data logging, etc.
4. General Action Items
   • Update colored arrows in charts, changes in GOTChA charts should be in blue.
   • Each team needs a block diagram, with each person doing some block of jobs.
5. For Next Week:
   • Each team needs both charts
   • Each team should have a weekly regular meeting time.
   • Talk with coordinators about timelines.
