Re: 2015 Week Zero Lessons Learned

Watching the Suffield Shakedown webcast:
  • Stacks are not easy to make, or make in quantity
  • Many stacks will be made without RCs on them, which might not be worth the effort
  • RCs are easy to knock over accidentally
  • Coopertition is HUGE
  • Coopertition is easily defeated by litter or someone breaking up the landfill for seemingly no reason / benefit
  • Autonomous is nearly dead, but this may be a side-effect of it being week zero
