What's Up Next?

The Trash Trek Challenge documents are released next Tuesday the 25th at Noon.  We'll take a break from the robots next week and build our mission models and talk about the Trash Trek Challenge documents. I wish I could squeeze in the programming that goes along with Chapter 5, but that will have to wait.  We need familiarity with the Trash Trek mission models before the kick-off on the 29th.
