Topic Teaching

During the off-season we set aside the last 30 minutes of a meeting each week for someone to teach about a topic. These talks are meant for everyone on the team, so we give overviews that help everyone have a shared high-level understanding, without getting deep in CAD/code/math/electronics/whatever minutia.

Scheduled topics

• September 27: PID controllers (Sam)
• October 2: Git[Hub] concepts (JasonE)
• October 9: OnShape sketches, parts, and assemblies (Cadel)
• October 18: Electronics primer (Alex)
• October 23: Power considerations for gearboxes and motors (Chris)
• October 30: Cutter physics, feeds & speeds (Jeff)
• November 6: Game analysis (Ryan)
• November 13: Rapid design (Ryan)
• November 20: CAD feature-based design (Chris)
• December 4: Rapid design (Ryan)
• December 11: Rapid design (Ryan)
• December 18: Units, coordinates, orientation, & quaternions (JasonE)
