Week 1

News from week 1 of semester 2:

  1. The car batteries go flat too quickly, so we will be looking at some options to boost their life. (ie. put an SLA in the car's "boot", put D cells in the car's "boot", buy more DSE batteries, build our own Sub-C DSE style batteries.)
  2. Video is a whore, but it's getting there - the camera's now can be identified in software, and will be initialised, they just need to start streaming!
  3. Open day is still a posibility!
  4. We had some problems with fragmentation of packets confusing the XML processor - others know more than me on this issue.
