Meeting Minutes
Meeting Style
How do we want to arrange team discussions moving forwards?
e.g. update focused, vs subsystem focused
more cross sub-team collaborations (e.g. October’s general meeting, yesterday’s drivetrain meeting were good)
PDR
PDR (Preliminary Design Review Reports are due no later than 11:59pm Mountain Standard Time (MST; UTC-7) on December 3, 2021.)
https://urc.marssociety.org/home/requirements-guidelines/preliminary-design-review
Each sub-team should write up a short paragraph describing their subsystem
Example from last year: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t9ZB0ADZ4zBIYMw5c7c2nWJdRhN2yeoIOxv2uG27XV0/edit
GANTT chart (preferred by URC)
“The Gantt chart should include at least the period September, 2021 through June, 2022. Specify when the team is testing remote communication, navigation, manipulation and science tasks required for competition. The chart must be of sufficient resolution so it is readable when enlarged.”
PDR for 2022 (the one we’re working on now)
Timelines
Manufacturing timelines from Mech?
How long does mech need to build everything (assuming all parts are in)
How long does electrical estimate they need to wire + test everything?
How long does SW/FW estimate they need to test their code?
SAR starts early March, late Feb, lets plan to get everything done by latest mid January
Components
Encoders: If I don’t get any email reply from RLS, I’ll send out a follow up email today once my midterm’s done

Thank you to the leads for your help with WEEF!!
We had our presentation on Tuesday, and I’ve found out from a friend on the council that we have tentatively received our 4th option. (officially confirmed in the next two weeks or so). This was less then we thought based on how much was allocated, but still around how much we normally get for a term. There will also be more funding available for next term then normal.
