    Hey everyone,

    Just a quick recap.

    Machine Shop access:

    Shop seems to be open on weekends again.

    I tried to talk to Tom (machine shop owner) but he was not there on Tues and Thurs, So I will try again next week.

    Ants:

    Everyone got their parts and weighed them.

    You should have found that you have about 250 grams left over for the weapon and chassis.

    A good guideline is about 80-100g for the weapon/weapon mount/pullies

    then, about 150-170g for the chassis.

    Work days:

    Work days this quarter will be on Saturdays, probably starting next Saturday.

    See you guys next weds.

    Hey everyone,

    Happy new years!

    We will have our meetings at the same place and time this quarter as last quarter. Wednesdays 5:00pm EBU 2 rm 479.

    At Wednesdays meeting, we will discuss topics such as machine shop access, solid works, the 30/60 pounder, and the antweights.

    Also, I will hand out the parts from fingertech and hobbyking. They are really cool haha and TINY.

    We will then break off into the antweight teams so you guys can check out the parts as well as set a timeline for the quarter.

    IMPORTANT: Also, If you are a project lead, have nothing better to do, or are interested in a leadership position next year, come to the meeting at 4:30.

    See you guys on Wednesday!
