Lessons Learned Mike o A backup plan will be necessary to complete our final assembly by Imagine RIT. Tyler o A good fallback plan for the mold was not in place which has pushed it's completion time back even more. Ben o What i said about being in the machine shop after 9 isn't necessarily true anymore- a student was caught with an illegal item they supposedly fabricated in the machine shop so now hours are more rigidly enforced o check, check and then check again when making measurements

Lessons Learned cont. Eric o Travelling for interviews takes more time and is more distracting than expected. TJ o Capabilities to make small 'adaptors' for the EH board and can do this in house, thus saving the group some money Killian o I'm not surprisingly good at not sleeping, I get sick the next week.
