Electrical 2016

Isaac found paramiko for ssh and script.
Nolan and Alexandre attempted to change the settings on our webcam, but apparently the settings are saved on the computer rather than the webcam itself.
- We might want to look into a fork of the mjpeg streamer that gives us more possible settings
Nolan and Thomas got wire connectors
Thomas thought long and hard about how to wire the robot.
Synced to Git Hub don't forget this
Isaac redid the account system on the Raspberry pi so there is an account called ctrl z we can go into.
Taped mechanical's broken wires
editted scripts so that they run more easily from drivers station.
Nolan played Advanced Wars on his phone. Boosted team moral.

Fix deploy grip-copying permissions issue with pi. Using WinSCP instead of pscp might be worth a shot.
OPEN GITHUB AND SYNC, even if you're not sure you'll be modifying robot code. When meeting is over, COMMIT then SYNC AGAIN. Just do this every meeting.
Find best way to see/modify camera settings. Play with brightness/exposure/etc. to get the best isolation of targets in imagebefore GRIP gets ahold of the stream. Then adjust GRIP file to make the best use of that.
- On some websites, they connect the video to the HSV filter twice so that there are two intervals for each. Might want to check this out.
mjpeg-streamer & GRIP can now start when Pi boots, still need to SSH in and shutdown nicely when disabled or match over.
Find good settings for mjpg-streamer (Look into the fork)
- keep optimizing (It seems that brightness and contrast being near zero works extreemly well)
Outline new robot code, using WPI commands style
Get second RPi spun up and tested with GRIP, mjpeg-streamer, etc. for practice bot
- Catch Beta up to Alpha Pi 2.
Check on spike supply and maybe order more
Look for velcro to buy thomas want various strengths/sizes
Work on wiring of RGB LEDs
Look at Nolan's new and improved controls list
