Winter 2024: Team Restructure Leads Meeting
Main goals:
Have good training for members
Have best practices clearly outlined
Make “work spaces” easily accessible to members
Have a clear roadmap of term objectives
Work with passion, and bring new members up the ranks so that they can have more lead roles
Team objectives
Focus on the drivetrain… we need something working
Electrical: Get some boards shipped so we can pass it on to firmware
Firmware: Get some people started working on some firmware for those boards… or at least the state of them
Team effort: Put together a working buck of our rover that we can test on electrically, for software, and for firmware
Software to start working on driver dash, health checks, and controls (with sensors)
Mech: Pull together new drivetrain, with fittings for new motors, new encoders, the carbon fiber drivetrain, and wheels
Software can also work on autonomy in simulation in the meantime
Start having some teamwide work sessions during the week
For subteams
Focus on having good trainings so that people can get involved
Focus on having good working environments (inclusive), in person sessions (working together), and good workspaces (easy CAD access. Task management, etc.)
Mech this term
Machining edge pieces for drivetrain
Start on machining the parts
Wheels
Sensor mounts
Electrical
Working session during weekly meetings
Current PDB working; buck converters somewhat working but need to be fixed
Electrical to work on firmware first
Electrical/firmware to setup the “rocky nervous system”
Software
Simulation stuff
Drivetrain software
User interface
Basic comms
To talk about
Pizza money? Other things we want in the bay
