EFS has a lot of new members
They have a lot of new members
a lot of pretty good new members
not a lot of second year students
uncertainty of impact of work pushes people away from the team
Very few projects people are allowed to choose their own architecture/implementation
success of LED project is due to allowing people to own it and make mistakes and see results
people wanna write drivers especially if they’re new
being an owner of part of ZP isn’t that much freedom, there’s a lot of other systems
more projects like LED board could be nice
sensor cluster → harder
servo module stuff
projects require architecture
for ZP → managers have very clear how they should function
letting people do arch is messy because implementation details come up
Derek Tang handles a lot of ZP stuff
Reviewing PRs
video to prove working method
we do it for drivers
PRs have a massive knowledge exchange
other ppl should be able to review PRs
people want to learn good practice
need more PMs
ZP
is the coolest thing EFS does
it’s cool when people understand it
it is a large project and hard to achieve anything
Manasva worked on ZP, understands arch,
Adding CAN support to ZP
Tracking Antenna
fixing a lot of stuff
Important to ping in Aidan Bowers, Sahil Kale, & Chris Chung
have so few PMs so can’t assign them to review bootcamps
PMs is seen as a need and not really a privledge
lowering the barrier to being a PM
getting people invested in the team will cause natural tendency in this direction
socials
making it feel like a team
bootcamp reviewing
is a lot of loading on leadership
automated testing?
Past Progress
CAN Functionality
ZP program
Funding proposals
Future Goals
Competition Tuning
experimenting with monday meeting in two halves, telling people not to show up to whole meeting
don’t want to waste people’s time with this
breaking work sessions up?
spend money to save time
lack of bay door opening holds us back
Competition Tuning
marketing this is hard
following document for tuning isn’t a control system experience
we have EFS interested being pilots
Yuchen and Manasva running pilot training
having pilots in EFS will get people more into tuning
we shouldn’t block people on trainings so much as long as they’re not being unsafe
need to drop the bureaucracy here. let people do it. Do not arbitrarily limit members.
advanced license is for comp
anyone present with a TC basic is enough
future concepts
How do we keep it interesting for leads and senior members?
Advanced R&D projects
Blockers & Requests
- Hardware availability
surveying memebrs about their interests within meetings might be a path forward here
hard to come up with tasks, (hard for everyone)
member influx
increasing new members
