• 01/24/2007 HW for everyone. So we have this technical description paper TDP to write for qualification. This is an example of another first years team TDP the guys from the MIT/Harvard team. Look at it and try to get a grasp of what will be involved in this paper. As I see it we need to take a similar format but push our Vision and our new protocol to the front. -Phillip Marks
