16.00 Portfolio Pickup

Consistent with past years, a few portfolios have still not been picked up. I remind you that these portfolios can be very useful when you apply for summer internships or jobs. I will keep the portfolios in my office until the portfolios are handed in for the 2008 16.00 class, so you have a year to pick them up! After that, they will be gone forever... Enjoy the summer.

Need Info from Teams 1, 5, and 6

I found a discrepancy between the number of motors and servos I recorded for your teams on the first flight day compared to today during the race. I may have made a mistake today and want to be sure to give every team the proper credit. Will these 3 teams please send me ASAP a confirmation of the number of motors and servos they used? Other teams please ignore. Thanks.
