Flight Test Schedule
Can we review the schedule and see if it still solves?
This is presented in Asana here
Please @Nathan Green talk over the deadlines for all major tests this term and make sure the team is on board, feel free to adjust accordingly here!
Timelines are all up for discussion and should be determined democratically.
If directors are going to hard then let us know.
All short term tasks, especially ones we past the deadlines on, should ask subteam leads what their thoughts are on it.
Are we all happy with this weekend’s test?
descoped the risky stuff to focus on the stuff that matters: autonomy functionality
