most of the team is very busy rolling into finals. we should’ve started sooner on this and come to a better ranking order weeks ago, lessons for next time, no need to dwell on it. all directors are busy and starting to feel the pressure. In hopes of alleviating this pressure Daniel Puratich is proposing taking point in selling and pushing the comp roster? . Note that in times of war/ pressure leaders someone kind of need to make calls to save everyone else time, even if that be the right wrong call. In this spirit, here’s my proposed roster. Once directors agree then we will sell this to leads, once leads agree we will sell this to the team. Note this is heavily based on 2024-04-06 Voting Options . I am starting this doc on April 6th in the evening and it may be public eventually.

Nathan, Hardy, and Yuchen work very well together for ardupilot stuff. Hardy and Yuchen need comp experience, been on the team a while, and Nathan can guide with his knowledge well. Nathan and Yuchen required as well trained advanced license pilots. While Hardy isn’t a pilot he’s a dedicated lead without any comp experience.
Daniel has comp and EE experience. Worst case soldering grindset. Hopefully helping coordinate the team and calling tough shots through blind overconfidence when needed (ayo kinda like this one, a lil practice, or foreshadowing if you will).
Aidan Bowers is required for trailer driving, but he had his term at comp and is on the way out (graduation lol)Aidan and Nathan are required for trailer driving. The trailer will be very helpful for us at competition because we can bring basically the entire bay.
Smile never been to comp, strongest mech we have available. Same arguement for Evan, strong mech up and coming. We just don’t have space for a second mech. Autonomy needs at least one person.
Emma will be very helpful for logisitics and photography, no comp experience, very up and coming ops member. no other ops members will be present.

Ishman is a risk due to lack of flight test experience but placed last because extra soldering help will be nice for final slot. If we do not need to fill this final slot than we could.
Nathaniel for extra mech hands as Conall cannot be locked in just yet as co-op is still pending at time decision is needed. driver n trailer requirements these gotta be met. awaitting anni input and i may adjust these picks
