Hi everyone,
We still need some people to help with Hamfest on August 8th with the
following:
PSK31 Demonstration
Help with the Information/Membership Table
Help with the Serving line
Help Jug with the Setup/Teardown (Setup on Saturday, August 7th)
Tailgaters to sell (their own) stuff
If there is another demonstration you think would be great for Hamfest
and are willing to put it on, give me a call or send an email. We can
always find a way to add another demonstration since that is part of the
Hamfest fun!
Time is running out, so either give me a call or send an email letting
me know you are willing to help, and what you would like to do. If you
just want to help but don't have any preferences, let me know that too
as we still need lots of help.
Finally, when you are there, make *sure* you introduce yourself to
people you don't know and to people who look like they are on the
sidelines. This kind of "I care" attitude is what will help keep
existing members and attract new members!
Thanks!!!

Otis Calef (KG6JMT) loaned his Solar Panel to someone in the club.
Can't remember who is was so I am putting in a request to see if we
can locate it.
Our scout troop is headed to the Sierras tomorrow. We are taking our
HAM radios to try some Dxing from high mountain peaks. We plan to
put the panels on the back of his mules and recharge the radio
batteries as we travel through the wilderness.
Thanks for your help in locating this unit.

While researching out the DARPA challenge, I came across the Red Team
(CMU) logs that were kept by Professor William "Red" Whittaker, an
acknowledged leader in the field of mobile robotics.. I found it
interesting since as the CMU team director, his philosopy would have a
profound effect on the entire team. BTW, the Red Team vehicle got about
7.2 miles on the approximately 160 mile course, the farthest of any
Grand Challenge competitor.
How the project was organized is fascinating. Their mission statement is
at http://www.redteamracing.org/about/mission.shtml. The complete logs
are at http://www.redteamracing.org/news/racelogs.shtml.
If you are interested,
http://www.campusprogram.com/reference/en/wikipedia/d/da/darpa_grand_challe…
has a number of links on the teams who entered the competition.

Day 1
Our run in the LA Vegas robot race will be history a year from tonight.
We are deliberating whether to race as CMU, as a dedicated 501c3, as a
racing syndicate or as a corporate alliance, but we are not deliberating
the decision to race. We are resolved to participate. We are using the
Red team as an informal identity and placeholder as we formulate and
formalize the initiative.
The race defies prevailing technology, and many hold that the challenge
prize is unwinnable in our time. We race to put winning technology in
the winners circle, to engage a generation of youth, to inspire
ourselves and our world, and to transform the view of what is possible.
The flyer we are using for this weeks conversation is attached. I
introduced our story at a conference Sunday, spoke to companies this
week, and Ill speak with alumni in Philly this Saturday.
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation,
there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless
ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits
oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help
one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events
issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of
unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man
could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius,
power and magic in it. Begin it now. --- Goethe

51 weeks remain to race day
Our institutional identity for participation in the LA-Vegas robot race
is the Red team led by CMU. Ive communicated with 500 people from
technologists and students to prospective partners, benefactors,
administration and alumni. Enthusiasm runs high. We move from commitment
to formulation.
Well proceed in four phases:
Teaming, Funding, Technology Dragnet and DesignThrough May 03
Component Development, Procurement and Subsystem IntegrationThrough
Aug 03
Interfacing, System integration, RolloutThrough Nov 03
Rework, Field Testing, RaceThrough Mar 04
Associates will include companies with expertise in computing,
electronics, sensing, mapping, planning, mobility and racing. Sponsors
will include organizations with interest in retail, entertainment,
racing, services, technology, education and future robotics
opportunities.
By next Thursday we will declare our intention beyond the walls of CMU,
invite participation, initiate fundraising, structure a directorate, and
troll for talent.
The beginning is the most important part of the work. -- Plato

Red Team attention turns to teambuilding and fundraising.
The strength of the pack is in the wolf, and the strength of the wolf
is in the pack. Rudyard Kipling
A powerpoint presentation for team promotion includes imagery and
videos of legacy robots as a context for our race story. CMU advancement
office has a copy of this draft, and Ill follow up to polish the
presentation to serve our teambuilding and fundraising purposes.
We distributed a great HP ad that occupies two pages of Newsweek. The
image shows HPs Formula 1 racecar with this text: Our 200 mph
laboratory. As the principal sponsor of the BMW WilliamsF1 Team, HP
provides the supercomputer that is used to design the car and conduct
thousands of race simulations, as well as the servers and notebooks used
to analyze data that enable the team to make precise adjustments. Its
mission-critical computing for fast-moving enterprises, and then some.
HP = everything is possible
HP Invent is emblazoned on the cowling. The sponsorship page on the
HP website says that a condition of HP sponsorship is that they are the
exclusive IT partner.
It has been suggested that we organize around a consortium model under
CMU auspice. The governing documents for each partner would be a license
agreement and a few paragraphs that lay out quid pro quo.
Others suggest a model of five to ten principal partners to participate
at the million-dollar level. Our model is to attract one principal per
category for categories like automotive, aerospace, IT, computing
hardware, heavy equipment, broadcast, electronics, etc. Red spoke with
two candidate principals.
We seek contacts for principal partners. We seek access and
opportunities to tell our story anywhere, anytime.
********************
Sunday, 30 March, 2003
The conversation of the Red Team is buzzing. More connections are being
generated than pursued.
Agreements for making fundraising communications are accepted and in
action.
Please make the requests . If you dont ask, you dont get .. Mahatma
Gandhi
We have a thin draft of Red Team program in the form of scope, schedule
and budget
We have accepted a Scientific American proposal to publish A Year in
the Life of the Red Team before race day next March. Scientific
American also offers a pointer to National
Geographic as the Red Team documentary producer.
