Blacktops

• Kharl is putting together manufacturting plan with Stryker for blacktops

• We will have to make choice on how many we need to make
• 80 will be need to cover this semester and summer classes, 140 will be needed for adding fall semester
• Semi Conducter shortage is making this quite a bit harder than it should be.
• Many circuit boards have already been made but we need to populate boards with parts
• There is a lot of decision making that needs to be made in #officers for this decision
• Stryker has been very useful in this project
• Stryker is using newer pick and place robots that need a new file format that KiCad does not produce
• Kharl should be able to send new panel design to Stryker
• Hopefully Stryker should be able to complete board manufacturing automatically as well.
• Will need to do another solder party to solder and test boards.

Synth

• We are currently building a modular synth
• This is an analog synth that is composed of multiple modules to generate music
• They are generally put into a rack similar to a server, allowing you to hook the signal generators and modifiers together to make interesting sounds
• We should start putting it together soon.
• It would be cool to take it to Bronco Bash and show new students music that was made by a machine club built

Lockpick Set

• Flay will be sending us a new lockpicking kit so we can teach lockpicking again

Hackathon

• Migration is going to server on Linode instead of locally.
• We may be able to request money from school to pay for costs.
