Lots of exciting things for Team 5 this week!

First, we presented our project progress to judges at Prototype Inspection Day (as seen above)! We showed off all of the video conferencing features that we’ve implemented, like screensharing, chat messaging, and the star of the show — remote control. Though we had some hiccups here and there with the technology and were a little bit shaky at first, overall the presentation went well! The judges gave us great feedback and seemed impressed with all the work that we’ve been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time.

The other exciting thing is that we may finally be able to slow down our development work and rest a bit 😅. During our liaison meeting this week, we were encouraged to work mostly on improving the features that we’ve already built, rather than implementing new ones. This is fantastic news for us, since the speed of our work has made our codebase a bit unwieldy, and having the time to work on refactoring and improving will help us have a solid foundation to build off of starting next semester.

Since we’re having our SLDR peer review event next week, we’ll be working on preparing for that presentation over the next few days, so stay tuned for updates on how it goes!
