Week 6
Photo of the Week
This week was spent in preparation for Robocup 2024 in the Netherlands this upcoming week. The course existed already here at the test facility, but we re-arranged it and updated it to match the current obstacles and design of the course in the Netherlands.
New Person
On Monday this past week, Adam (Project Leader) gave a tour of the facility to some of his Japanese contacts. These gentlemen were from the Fukushima Institute for Research, Education, and Innovation. They took us all out to lunch where we sat and talked for over an hour. The President of the F-REI, Yamazaki Koetsu, was one of the men that was there, and he gave me his business card.
Cultural Insight
This doesn't pertain to DASL, but rather the cultural differences in business talks between the Japanese and Americans. While at lunch, it was a very interesting situation to be a part of and to witness.
