Note taker: Andre
-
funds only arrived friday prior to call.
-
things are not on github because they were waiting for parts to arrive,
- team will work on documenting things, even if parts are not there yet
- also will create a table with an overview of existing projects. Shortcomings and benefits. This will allow people to see right away why things are being done in a certain manner.
-
question: What kind of system should be used for making the box/enclosure for the system? local parts or something that can be bought off the shelf anywhere (eg aluminum profiles).
For next week:
- documentation on github!!.
- start building.
