Future Mini-Presentation Topics

[Advay17]

As @VMFortress discussed in the last meeting, we may want to start doing small presentations at the start of meetings about different parts of software to catch the rest of the members up to speed. What topics are people interested in seeing? My suggestion for our first presentation is an overview of all the different features in the github.

If you see a topic suggested that you want to see, give it an upvote so we know what topics are popular!

The ones I personally think would be nice since I haven't gotten around to them:

• PathPlanner: How it works, when it should be used, limitations, why alternatives like Choreo are considered
• NetworkTables: What they are, how they're setup, when to use them
• SysID: What it is, what is needed to do to add it, how it will be useful
• PhotonVision: General interview and how it's setup

Obviously most of these can just be read about online but I think in general they don't have the clearest documentation in layman terms, they could be helpful to those besides just me, and I'd just enjoy hearing some of your perspectives and interpretations of them!

If others are interested in these topics, I can do one on Photonvision and maybe Networktables

Now that AP exams are over, do we want to formalize a schedule for these presentations? While obviously duel on the delaware is approaching, I feel that we are in a good enough state between having sim and the presets all being figured out that we can afford to start doing these.

It seems like a good idea. However, it depends on what people want to see and what people want to present on. I won't force anyone to make such a presentation but it could be nice for the group.
