12 November - The little things

So, Team UTD has been waiting for word on our submission to the RGSFOP. I connected with our point of contact and asked if we could learn anything before the 8th of December. Se said that the competition is set up such that there's no way to know before hand. We wait some more.

The only thing to do in the meantime then is to do the little things that will help make this project a success when we are selected. Here's a small list of what can be done for little effort that will be vital later.

• Research funding opportunities
• Do the back of the envelope calculations that will give us the best possible starting point when we begin to build
• Look for times and places where the team can meet
• Do tentative planning for the trip to Houston - transportation, lodging, fun, etc
• Learn as much as possible about cavitation and fluid flow

We are scheduled to meet in a week. I think I'll prepare something to hand out to get the group's creative juices flowing.

Oh, yeah. Final team selections will be made then too. Don't tell anyone, but it looks like I'll take the whole lot.

Cheers,

-- Zach
