Bringing A-stream mechanical leads up to speed on current status of team
Creating plan of action for month of September
- Recruitment
- High-level vehicle design

U of C mold processes- reach out to the team to find who made their mold, and how they did it. Minghao has a contact
Fiberglass layup-discussion of why it took as long as it did to make, and how that could have been changed
Funding- when will internal sponsorship proposals begin. Not too soon
Aerobody of other teams- what did the aerobody of other teams look like, what was their process. We were unsure
Aerobody of MSXI- why left and right half as opposed to a left and right half
Scheduling of MSXI- 2 terms to design, 2 terms to build, 1 term of electrical integration, 1 term of testing. Race in ASC 2018
Should we meet with the Elec team to determine what should be mounted where? no
Should we reach out to the fourth year class to design our aerobody as an FYDP? no
It is fundamentally important that the next car be more reliable than high performing
How do we reach out to new members? contacting as many classes as possible
It was brought up that you can only manage a finite amount of people
How do we retain new members? giving them meaningful and involved projects
MSXI should be a stepping stone for MSXII in terms of design
We have 4 weeks before we should give out design tasks to new members
We need to have a meeting of what went well and what didn't in MSXI for members who were off stream
