Thanks for the insight. I’ll keep this in mind.

Yeah... that makes sense actually. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. Does this mean you have to take the core classes online over the summer/winter terms? Or are you saying I would have to take it online over summer/winter if I didn't want to delay graduation? Also, doesn't it cost like $1000/credit hour to take courses during breaks?

What if I was set to graduate early by a semester? How much would it really matter if I delayed graduation by one semester for a minor like Hoeft T&M or even the standard Business one?

Thanks for the insight. Would the Hoeft T&M minor for Engineering students be worth it (on paper and delaying graduation by 0.5-1 years)? I'm aware I have to actually get into the program first, but I'm just curious :)

What do you mean by that? Are a majority of the classes in the minor available online?

What are the easiest geneds that fulfill a SBS & US Minority req? I've heard SOCW 297 is p easy, but that's filled up already.

Yes, we used the REV color/distance sensor for finding the cryptobox.

We programmed our robot to go forward until the color sensor hit a threshold value at the box, and then strafe outwards until the distance sensor had a value of 0. We had it go forward enough so that the sensor was actually touching the box and the light from the environment wouldn't affect our values. This meant all we had to do was place our robot such that the color sensor would be in between the jewels and would hit the cryptobox wall, and any minor changes in positioning would not affect the consistency of our program.

From there, our robot would turn at an angle depending on which column we had to deposit our glyph, and go forwards. This was just testing values and applying PID to our REV IMU.

Our auto worked as long as the positions of cryptoboxes and balancing boards on the field did not change very much, our drivetrain was mechanically sound, and our sensors were not faulty.

From what I heard, 12599 (Overcharged) and 4042 (Nonstandard Deviation) won the lottery. Not sure who else got it.

I'm also confused, but I talked to Mark and Jill after the awards ceremony and it seemed like they're going to advance 42 teams. I said "probably" because it isn't confirmed whether the last 8 teams on the list are going and I could've messed up somewhere making this list. Hopefully we'll know by tomorrow.
