If you plan to reinforce, change, or modify the landing gear, I would like a
sketch. No need to present the pit crew plan and no need to present a
landing map.

You can probably borrow a stop watch, ruler, or tape measure from the
Unified staff. A strain gage is a stretch, but possible. Space telescopes
are out of the question. You don't have to use last Thursday's collected
data as part of the deliverables, but you may if you wish. You should be
striving to acquire any data that 1. you can actually measure, and 2. that
will give you a decisively competitive advantage in designing and delivering
a superlative system for the competition.

Hey there!



We're in our weekly team meeting and just wanted to clarify a few things for
SP2.



What do you want for the land part of deliverable 4.a?  Do you want a
landing gear design?  Pit crew plan?  Landing map?



For the baseline tests, what resources do we have?  Stop watch?  Ruler?
Strain gauge?  Space telescope?  Also, should we be using the data collected
on Thursday for this part of the deliverables?



Thanks so much!



-Jack
