WEEF Funding
Presentation was last Tuesday, seems to have gone well, we have a good video of it
WEEF members have been leaking allocation results
seems like we $5k which is Option 4 for everything
this is very poor for us compared to past years
unsure why this happened …
possibly a lot of people got defunded because WEEF doesn’t have that much funding to give out
we should wait for allocations and avoid speculation on this stuff
Will wait for final confirmation from the committee
Comp Sync Topics
try to plan flight tests
Pegasus 2 test for the 23rd for:
landing gear testing
pilot training
14th are nice for during finals to test payload stuff
Nathan & Alison will be there for this
some ppl have a final after this but should be ok
test both payloads on the drone for this day, need EE and software ready for this
want to test cluster estimation and should be ready for the 23rd test
AEAC Townhall
