Pathing

Balaji Leninrajan Evan Zhao

  • Honzik Schenk ‘s PR had been reviewed and we’re rethinking the task, might split up into smaller tasks - opinions welcomeWe should have all the modules we need to work on a potential path_2025_task_1;if possible we could probably flight test before the end of Feb had a PR up

  • Matias Rivas's task is in progress

    • PR is up

    • Plan to re-migrate main_2025 after this gets merged

  • Common migration is still being reviewed, will probably have more bandwidth to look into this next week - Balaji Leninrajan

  • Evan Zhao Find Finding water route PR still need to be rebased, reach out of help neededunder review – but more scrutiny is also needed for double-checking validity of algorithm after realizing a test case was wrong – Evan

  • Common migration will probably need to be given to Balaji Leninrajan as Evan turned out to not have enough time + next week will be reading week :/ – Evan
