Duncan Ma(Assume) Wants to Drive
William ZhaoDon’t Care
Derek Cheung(Assume) Wants to Drive (Jonathan said “Derek is unfit to drive”)
Cyrus YauDon’t Care
Ivan Lam(Not Sure) Don’t Care
Mark Poon(Assume) Wants to Drive (Didn’t contribute = No privilege to drive = No experience = Cannot be drive… Sorry =( ) <-partially said by Jonathan
Michael ChangAble to Drive/ Wants to Drive
Andrey Vul(Assume) Wants to Drive

Notes: Should there be a “Competition For Driving”, But not enough time.
Give the people who are able to drive; to drive?
Some type of Compromise?

P.s If I have misinterpreted anyone’s opnions tell me or Michael to change it.

  1. 1. Categorize your post. “Uncategorized” looks really fugly.
    2. The able/wants to drive is correct.
    3. We need people to list their driving preferences too (i.e. left stick versus right stick, button modes (hold — i.e. current; switch — i.e. turn on/off; or complex — i.e. “cheat codes”, etc.)
    3a. I like driving with the right stick. I like the idea of cheat codes, but I like holding too. I have a bit of trouble with the fact that both the conveyor belt AND the bucket stick because it means I have to watch both AND drive the robot. >.<
    4. If there was going to be competition, today was the day to do it. Now all we can do is practice, and make sure EVERYBODY can drive, and pick the confident people to drive during the competition. (Because half of the team will be arriving late, we want them to have lots of practice before the competition so they can just jump in and relieve current drivers’ sore hands.)
    5. I’ll mention your post in my e-mail.
    6. Forms. Get them signed. They’re due tomorrow. Post coming soon about this.
    7. We need a To Do list.
    8. I’m on a field trip to the Aerospace centre with the grade 10s tomorrow. William, you’re in charge period two. Good luck.

  2. 9. Why is Jonathan singlehandedly vetoing drivers? Shouldn’t we be picking drivers based on ability? I think everyone should be listed as a driver, but we should have them ranked (i.e. best and second-best drivers alternate rounds).

  3. *(top two or three or four alternate rounds, and the rest fill in if someone is missing)
