titleComp roster

April 12 deadline. will need to work on a list of comp attendees: at the moment, just Nathan/Yuchen are confirmed as the pilot/gso.

Megan Spee ‘s tips of what to do, re:last year

  • do not assign comp roles to anyone on discord until everyone attending’s names have been submitted to AEAC.

  • make sure you are not privatizing conversations about competition:

    • specifically, there should only be 1 comp-attendee-only channel, and it should only be active for things that are not applicable to the rest of the team. (things like personal information for travelling, packing lists, on-road communication).

  • be very open about comp attendee selection! we have a form to self nominate, and we expect everyone interested in comp to fill this out

  • Note that we need probably at least 4 drivers! 2 of which need to have trailer cert too.

    • 2 of which need to be trailer certified.

ideally we have a meeting to discuss comp logistics around AEAC sync time.

April 12 according to most recent conops.

  • Nathan Green attending the next town hall (AEAC organizer call)

Action items

  • set a hard deadline for comp interest submission form

subteam leads maybe shortlist members you’d like to push towards comp! (including yourself if you are available and want to go)

Flight test team should also shortlist people. (think: “who do you want to work with on the flight line/ or at comp in general”)

Things to consider! (a brief list)

  • People who are technically important (have very valuable technical knowledge that is irreplaceable)

  • People who are very passionate and want to get to know what other teams are like

  • Organization/overhead - being awesome and diplomatic towards the competition organizers! This is important to improve relations with everyone involved at comp!

  • MEDIA!

Shortlist on 29th-31st of march, and open discussion about it on the 1st.

  • shortlist at leads meeting!

  • then presented at a larger meeting

Before we select comp attendees: need the # of vehicles. → Reach out to graeme asap
