Autonomous Sailboat Race

[Dave Harvey]

It's been a week since I sent my last email seeking expressions of interest in an autonomous sailboat race to be held in Hamilton in September.

I've received very little response: 1 person from Hacklab, 1 from Site3, and a message from Diyode that they'd bring it up at their meeting this week. No one has said that they'll definitely participate.

If we're going to do this, we need to know soon. Please try to give me an In or Out decision by Monday, July 4.

Even if you're not interested, I'd appreciate your feedback on the idea. Are you not interested because:

1. It's too hard to wrangle a team during the summer;

2. The project seems too difficult for the time available;

3. The project is just not the kind of thing our people are interested in;

4. We have too many other projects on the go right now;

5. We're a sad little group that never does anything fun;

6. Other

Thanks,

Dave

The biggest reason for me/us is that we are in Calgary :)

Our members tend to be, in general, more individualistic, and rarely get behind a "grand group project", so... in my approximate order:

 

3. The project is just not the kind of thing our people are interested in;

2. The project seems too difficult for the time available;

Since I'm not a sailor, I don't know for sure, but it seems like a lot of variable to account for in designing the physical controls (how to actually steer the thing), and then the logic to automate that.

I would love for Ohm Base to participate, but a 2,000km drive is A  little out of our price range at this time ;)

It is pretty far for us, and we are just getting started, so the capital investment would be a little much.

I love the idea of ASR...

I personally don't have room for new projects right now....

But what's the value proposition for joining? I mean one would have to attend a specific location too right?
