Title. Use folders & Labels as necessary
Spring 2023 Equipment Sell--off
End of each term, we can sell equipment to put cash (back) into our cash-box. 24 hours items are listed, FCFS and ig people can bid for it if they want? Maybe just a google sheets with a linked form and ppl can put in name/bid. idk.
Usually consider: broken, in need of repair, no longer used items.
Parts come with a written paper saying warg is not responsible for safety or damage to items…
Potential list of things we can sell off:
older / in a bad state ESC’s.
Broken/badly damaged video transmitters
ICARUS motors (vtol, we’ll likely not use them again for a while
)
Older quad/hex motors (we can use them, but don’t really have the parts necessary to actually run them)
Large/random props
we do use these occasionally, but very rarely for warg purposes (usually thrust stand, most recently icarus) and it’s probably better just to sell them off instead of keeping them.
We should keep 10-14” props as well as the small props
Old ESC’s (T-motor ones)
Old GPS stuff / A/v stuff / etc
Old 3d printer filament
In the past, we have sold:
receivers/transmitters
controllers
Downstairs bay move
Confirmed. Most of our stuff in the downstairs bay right now, furniture and non-valuables outside.
Tomorrow morning will help VEXU move out, and then move in, inventory, sort, layout.
Bay code tracking, reset document, etc.
Pilot/GCS bring-up program
Anthony Luo Megan Spee
Levels for each thing
a level, for example, unlocks some classes of aircraft? small (houston, phoenix, judie), up to icarus (discontinued lol but this would be the hardest…)
Confluence documentation for each level
online quiz + in person demo (for some) levels.
Will go from basic (no qualification) up to competition ready?
Comp 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
How many people, from which subteams, etc.
Looking at 14-16ish people? or 10-12?
the ‘process for selecting competition-goers’ documentation should be made easily available start of fall term, with expectations outlined pretty clearly.
Onboarding stuff
Workload assessment, being ready for a LOT of new bootcampers
Reviewing recruitment & marketing approach.
Recruitment & 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
Design Reviews from Profs/Industry experts
This is something we used to do, and we should continue to do!
Project 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).

Project Goal(s) for fall term
Objectives: Have entire competition architecture ready & tested. The earlier the better.
Comp drone (frame + wiring)
Antenna Tracker
Landing pad detection & auto-landing
Gemini, LTE, other comms solutions?
Availabilities: Who will be on-site next term? How often?
Meetings, Worksessions, Syncs, Workshops
Architecture meetings: When will these happen? How will they be scheduled?
Project Syncs: Which project’s need syncs? Which ones need in-person cross-subteam work sessions?
Worksessions: We will have a bay downstairs, so much more realistic to have everyone coming in together! !
Flight Tests
Scheduling: Aiming to have a flight test every other weekend?
Identify what airframes are available (Houston, Pegasus)
Identify tasks which need to be flight-tested.
Identify how we can break those tasks down so that we bring incremental targets to each flight test.
Identify how we can run multiple tests in one flight-test.
Identify how we can minimize operator overloading for flight tests (e.g. start running auto-missions, operator only needs to know how to RTL, etc).
Auxiliary Projects
Projects not directly related to this competition season, but likely to be necessary if we want to continue to improve and compete at larger competitions.
