j5?
- should we ask Dan T to give a talk on j5 stuff?
-
Previous members to come in and talk about how great SRO is, Andy & Google stuff
-
Hack day - can we do competition robots? Do we have enough stuff? Do we have the man power? Will the workshop be open, can we use the mech workshop beforehand? On the day?
- If we can't use comp robots - play with mbeds (mindstorms, and microbits)
- Don't use same task with mbeds and comp robots - if we make line following mbeds purely line following comp robots may be anticlimatic. Comp robots need to end up better than what you started with
Bunfight¶

- Need to organise shifts
- Will have demo bot(s)

- Print flyers - We need to confirm events and what's on the flyer and if we need funding for pizza
Summer School Lead¶
- Will confirm who's interested in running and organise an EGM in a few weeks - lets deal with freshers first
SmallPeice Planning¶
- Schedule issues
- Nothing to be expected around December/January and April/May
- Document everything
- Should be runnable by a completely new set of people next year - no reliance on previous volunteers' expertise
- Task list
- Where to put a task list
- Does it exist already? Probably not
- ACTION POINT - Migrate last year's task list and adapt it as we go, some year specific stuff but generally it's all reusable
PCB design and manufacture¶
- Boards due to be ordered tomorrow (If Dan finished Motor Footprint, update 2019-09-13 DONE)
- cost is £1.62 +P&P(£15.68 for 2-4 days, £6.84 for 7-10 days probably go for the cheaper option)
- try Black boards (Matte black PCBs are really nice)
