4/11/25 Post-STORM Debrief

  1. Y'all did wonderful jobs at STORM!!!

    • yay!
    • Too many things had to come together for that to happen...

  2. SHOULD we do STORM again..?

    • Pres. Alex: Wants fully available and committed officers.
      • "Competition Officer" + dedicated subteam
      • Subteam officers too! (Electrical, Mech, Software, etc)
      • Club itineraries -- Possibly a non-technical person!!
      • Monthly-ish officer meetings
    • We should conduct a poll on Discord to see interest to do STORM again!
      • Right now it looks like just Jennifer and Yaxin...

  3. What if we hosted a competition⁉️

    • Virtual attendance..?
    • Get UTD and advertise to people
    • Open to all ages and community, not just universities and colleges

  4. Battlebots..?

    • Think about parts!

-- Shark tank..? --

  1. Get a SAFAC order made and submitted (if possible) by the 25th

    • arian wut do u want
    • Too many parts are from Home Depot, Alex, Josh, Arian... STOP IT!!!
    • (The freaking 1/4in shafts...)
    • VEX list as well if we want to use the VEX build system
    • FTC build system perhaps?
    • Or consider RAW

    2. Something with the Go AI robot dog we have - Play fetch! (as per Nat) - and tiktok dances
    3. Virtual meeting attendace -- iPad on a stick on wheels
      1. "telepresence"
      2. Also you can integrate the LLM from the "GPTars-like robot" on this! Whenever it's not doing virtual attendance.

    6. Cooking Technologies we want to try:
    • LIDAR
    • CV: Face recog
    • LLMs chatting with STT + TTS
