These are the tasks we need to complete before the October 13, 2018 KILLSWITCH Deathmatch.
| Task | Notes | Skills Needed | Challenge Accepted By |
|---|---|---|---|
| level arena floor | floor sections not currently bolted down to frame. some sections may be off-square? | metalworking | (?) |
| calibrate controller & weapon timing | arena brain firmware did not get calibrated last year before being put in service | coding, pneumatics | issac & doug |
| replace exhaust fans | existing exhaust fans have died; need to be replaced with new, reliable ones | electronics | issac |
| brand arena | our name and logo should be added prominently to all sides of the arena | painting(?) | (?) |
| make "KILLSWITCH" sign for arena roof | we need a carnival-style sign to go on the roof. it will need tall legs to get above the awnings and need to be removable for transport. it should have blinking/chasing LED lamps. | electronics, construction, coding | issac & (?) |
| install exterior lighting | exterior lighting was assembled, but not installed, last year | electronics, 3d printing | issac & (?) |
| secure and reinforce walls | clear plastic walls currently taped in place. should be secured to frame [somehow] and a stronger "rail" added down low to contain new, more violent bots. ideally, low rail should be clear as well so kids can still see in. | (?) | (?) |
| add cameras inside arena | video from inside arena would greatly aid later promotional efforts. a four-camera video surveilance system is available for use if desired. | electronics, (?) | (?) |
| recruit referee | we need someone conversant with the KILLSWITCH rules on the hook to watch bouts, call foul as necessary, and declare winners | assertiveness, observation | (?) |
