Leadership skills.

Vision

• “Be the change you want to see in the world”

• Announcement for Autonomy meeting? Yes

Funding

• Compile a wishlist

• We need to help with WEEF and MEF presentations

  • $500 from WEEF and $930 from MEF

  • Coral TPU

  • Watcloud – ML model training

Mentorship

• Teaching them things

• Getting them more involved with the team

• Grow members and motivate them to take on bigger roles

• Long-term success of the team

• More emphasis on initiative

  • Entry to barrier is lower

    • Bootcamp – consider revising

    • Maybe push and encourage members to be more active and take initiative (esp for first tasks)

  • Hard to manage this many members

  • Lots of new members expect hand holding

• Everyone wants to get involved

  • Things are kind of blocked

  • Documentation on our architecture

  • More members than tasks

    • So many members we can not give people a mini project

  • Small tasks are not getting done and block

    • Deadlines

    • Important blocking tasks should have deadlines but more support

• Work sessions are great!

  • 1 or 2 hours

  • Things get done quicker

  • Allows people to set some time to focus on their task

Delegation

• If you take on all of the work, you are going to get burnt out very fast

• Rely on PM’s and other senior members to help you out

• Next term, bring up another autonomy lead

  • I would suggest 3 leads

  • Pick from Amy’s term

  • New lead to be a PM in the past, they have some experience with leadership

• Skills needed for a lead

  • Leadership

  • System Design

  • Initiative

Competition Tasks

• Pathing Task 2

  • Very close to being flight tested, someone needs to grind out integration issues

  • Kind of hard because we don’t have a pathing PM

• Pathing Task 1

  • No work has been done right now

  • Need to scope out architecture

• LTE

  • Hit a snag with LTE not connecting, need onsite people to help out at flight tests and work on fixing these issues

  • Need to get image-transmission repository finished so we can ground test

• Airside

  • Need to unblock main file tasks to integrate the modules (maybe set stricter deadlines so it isn’t blocked)

  • Test geolocation and connect rest of the modules

  • Test airside repo with LTE telemetry

• ML Model

  • Need to get people to finish cleaning the dataset

  • Need to annotate on Roboflow

  • Need to train on WARG desktop
