WARNING: This homework set is not yet finalized. Do not starting working on this set until this banner is removed.

1. [10 points] Using the login and password information sent to your Caltech e-mail account, log in to the team wiki and perform the following actions:
   1. Create a profile in Confluence that has a (current!) picture, short biography and your contact information (this is private to the team). Look at Richard Murray's profile for an example.
   2. Update your system page so that your name is listed, with a link back to your profile page.
   3. Your TA will assign you an action item as soon as your profile page is up. Respond to this action item.
2. [10 points] Using the login and password information sent to your Caltech e-mail account, log in to Slack and perform the following actions:
   1. Create a profile in Slack that has a (current!) picture and a short description of who you are. Look at Richard Murray's profile for an example.
   2. Join the channel corresponding to your division and, if it exists, you system.
   3. Post a message in your division channel telling your TA that you are on the system
3. [25 points] Choose one of the subsystems that your division is responsible for and that you are interested in working on. Create a page in your personal space "Homework 1" and perform the following actions, with your answers given as a bulleted list:
   1. List the name of the subsystem, with links to any pages that describe previous work on your subsystem
   2. Read the SAE Formula Electric rules and list the competitions to which the subsystem contributes, plus the number of points the competition is worth and a one sentence summary of the role that the subsystem plays in getting maximum points
   3. Spend 15 minutes trying to find the baseline design for the subsystem. If you find the baseline design, give a short summary of the design. Include links to any pages on the wiki where the specifications of your subsystem are discussed (if there are more than 5 such pages, list the 5 most relevant ones). If you can't find the baseline design, send e-mail to your TA and ask for a hint. If there is no baseline design for the system you chose, enter "No baseline design" (but make sure there really isn't one!).
   4. List the people who have worked on the subsystem in the past, with links to their profile pages if they have one

   Notes on this problem:

   • The subsystem you choose is not necessarily the subsystem that you will work on for the term. Those assignments will be determined by the team, working with the TA.
   • Don't spend more than about 30 minutes on this problem, but do get help from your TA if you get stuck.
