Share any new findings / research
Brainstorm tasks for first years
- Philosophy: Tasks should be self contained. Ideally first years should design parts, mechanisms or manufacturing processes that can stand alone and could be integrated into any solar car. In the event that a first year works on a task with constrains that are specific to MSXII, then those constrains should be explicitly defined and not subject to change.
- Identify core members who want to be the mentor / contact person for the first years on each project. Create confluence pages to track requirements and progress
Share proposed workflow for mech sub-projects on confluence
Identify core team tasks for this week

Time	Item	Notes
7:10	what did we learn	Devon read up on suspension geometry (tuning to win) Matt worked with first years
7:24	assigning leads to projects	see attached document
7:30	What are the deliverables	chassis needs mounting points from suspension, and other factors like camber, control arm length etc aerobody needs more sketches (no compound curves on solar array parts) chassis looks into welding processes
7:49	Workflow on confluence	each mechanical system will have a page with children pages for each related desgn component

Everybody make three sketches for aerobody
suspension (Control arm length, wheel distance, camber, castor toe, mounting points in 3d)
chassis looks at welding process what kind of welder should we get (MIG vs TIG)
brakes (do we need 2 calipers for 2 wheels or 1 per wheel)
