John, I have a minor itch about your blog. Maybe next year we can get you to say "magnetic flux wielding manipulator 1" (or something else that's vague but easy to remember) instead of "Subsystem X". As a reader, it's distracting to read "Subsystem 0" and it even seems like the guest bloggers mock the naming convention when they call something "subsystem pi". It'd also help me remember if you're reiterating over the same design or creating a new design for the same system as the season progresses. Keep top secret stuff secret, but for 'arm' and 'leg' and 'drive train' it would be nice. I do enjoy reading about the 148 process: it's both humbling and inspiring at the same time.
The numbers on the blog correspond to the P/N conventions we use for CAD files. It was an easy way for me to remember them. Next year I'll think about simple nicknames instead... without revealing too much.
