titleComp Selection Criteria

Megan Spee

Anything in this box please critique/discuss, comp selection processes should be scrutinized pretty hard so we can make it better (thumbs up)

  • How many people, from which subteams, etc.

  • Looking at 14-16ish people? or 10-12?

    • this has definitely been discussed before. make a decision if possible

  • the ‘process for selecting competition-goers’ documentation should be made easily available start of fall term, with expectations outlined pretty clearly.

  • Options (what I can think of right now) - self nomination form, ‘up to lead discretion’ / ‘see who ends up coming to flight tests and being the most useful'

    • self nom form lets people declare that they will be interested/ plan to commit to the entire 8mo involvement, but might not reflect reality.

    • leads discretion means each lead needs to be watching for the next 8 months for people who show a lot of initiative, asking people in advance if they’d be interested, and making sure the expectations are known. Requires more oversight and attention to equal opportunity.

  • Leave final decision until at least march, can decide key people (pilots, gs operators) beforehand (dec/jan/feb??) to properly train up

titleOnboarding stuff
  • Workload assessment, being ready for a LOT of new bootcampers

    • Do we want to continue accepting everyone? Can have applications // reduce number of bootcampers // give tasks directly. Can be subteam specific.

titleRecruitment & Marketing approach

Megan Spee , Georgia Vachon Westerlund

Generally:

  • making sure we are advertising that we are always open to new members (depending on how many ppl we want to onboard)

  • allowing members to quickly and easily understand what teams are working on and what they can expect to do on all of those teams

  • on my mind:

    • posterboards explaining our drones (looks cool, easy to understand)

    • WARG branding (banners/stickers/idk)

    • Website to include more info?

The rest of it

  • idk we’ll discuss this in the meeting

titleProject Goal(s) for fall term

< Section content moved to end of page for (better formatting) reasons>

  • Who will be on-site next term?

  • Focusing on comp stuff

  • Conops kick-offs - we need to be ready. Schedule out meeting times regularly each week for those syncs and architecture meetings to happen.

  • Can leverage existing sync shedules.

  • Increasing sync-schedules for comp specific parts (tracking antenna, RF infra, etc?)

  • Having concrete test & project plans before the term starts

    • not just “what are we going to test” but also making sure “how are we going to test it” is cared for from all sub-teams and there’s points of contact listed for active projs.

    • Hopefully done before next leads meeting (early sept, probably).

  • interest in aero design and simulation should be utilized this comp season
