Next Week:  Our discussion will be based on above Video. Our research / solution should cover one of following:

- Early Warning
- Shelter
- Rebuilding


Robot Mission:

All the missions are "in-progress", nothing is in completed list yet.

Next Week: Critical progress we must make by next week:

1) Robot Design: We are still having consistency issue,

2) Spend more time on robust design for each mission to achieve accuracy (instead of trying to aim the robot to do certain mission repeatedly).

- Make a zig to fix Robot's starting point
- Think alternate paths if Robot hits some object three out of five runs
