Programmers meeting in Atlanta to discuss sensors

[miketwalker]

I would like to organize a programmer's meeting for all programmers, new and old, in Atlanta just after the Web Hug on Thursday in the same area as the Web Hug will be.

I would like to host this meeting to discuss the following things to help make suggestions to FIRST to possibly consider for the 2006 kit, and just to help FIRST get an idea of where we stood this year with the new sensors and equipment from this year and what we'd like to see if possible.

On the agenda for discussion:
- Pros/Cons of current sensors
- Helpful sensors teams would like to see in the future
- How to help with the actual programming aspect
- Ideas to make autonomous mode more programmer-friendly

Please respond if you would like to attend this meeting or have any suggestions for other things to be discussed. Keep in mind, this is NOT a FIRST-supported meeting. I am simply trying to organize the programmers so we can have an open forum for ideas that we could simply present to FIRST to consider. I hope to see you all out there, if you can't attend this little get-together, feel free to come on by our pits in Curie (Team 21). I'll be driving, so I may be running around quite a bit, but just come by and ask for me and we'll hopefully get to meet up.
