Next Mechanical Meeting: Jan 4th Meeting, 2pm

• Returning members
• New machinists welcome

Goals

• Review overall mech goals
• Review member engagement
  • Intimidating when there's nothing easy to start with (nothing delegated, nothing to help them get to know the rover)
  • Good to reinforce the importance of small tasks
  • Make active efforts to ask if people know what we're talking about
  • Good to include educational bits in meetings! Makes it worth it
  • Big wins when everyone knows what's discussed
  • Keep in mind small design tasks! → bounty channel!
• Review meeting structure
  • Tech topics! → not every meeting, but down
  • General mechanical meetings
  • Design review meetings should be separate from update meetings
