| 17 | +### Mentoring |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- Haven't explicitly checked in a while |
| 20 | +- No news is likely good news |
| 21 | +- Some teams are a concern, but they're being actively mentored |

| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### Competitor resources |

| 26 | +- Mostly on hold until post-competition |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Kit issues |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- A theme of people struggling with serial comms |
| 31 | + - Hopefully we can improve this with documentation on how to do proper serial comms |
| 32 | +- Another KCH died recently due to ground loops |
| 33 | + - Hard to do, so nothing particularly to worry about |
| 34 | +- Perhaps useful to review Discord after the competition as to what people are using their Arduino for |
| 35 | + - Optimise what we have for how people are actually using them |
| 36 | + - Jake to open task to capture us doing this |
| 37 | + - Reviewing USB contents after the competition would also help |
| 38 | + |

| 46 | +- Jake to update deployment for this year |
| 47 | +- Runbook docs have been updated to cover new processes / systems |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +#### Kit return |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- We're happy with the plan |
| 52 | +- We should condense boxes to make collation simpler |
| 53 | + - Once teams have left |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### Kit Recovery |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +- TMD |
| 58 | + - Hoping to dispatch today |
| 59 | +- JAG |
| 60 | + - Delivered according to tracking |
| 61 | +- GHS |
| 62 | + - We need to send them the information |
| 63 | + - Jake has now done this |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### Kit collation |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +- We should book something in soon |
| 68 | + - Horsham might be most viable? |
| 69 | + - Can potentially get a cheap van from Southampton |
| 70 | +- Hopefully condensed down into fewer boxes so easier to transport around |
| 71 | + |
