  • Week 15 demo to be a remote control demo via TCP/IP link


Discussion of features to implement

  • Basic requirement: RC car with 2 motors driving 2 weeks and steering control
  • More capabilities to consider:

Discussion of meeting times:

Currently proposed as 4:30-5:30pm Friday, but 5:00-6:00 apparently works for everybody & would enable Prof. Krogmeier to participate more as his other VIP team meets 4:30-5:30 Fridays.
