Line-following
- Can we get the MUX to sit flat?
  - 90-degree connector
  - Shorter Wires
  - lower angle attaching to MUX
  - solder wires directly to MUX
- Finish mounting sensors
  - We have a bunch of wires made, have all the parts, and holes drilled in many robots. (Thanks Alex L.)
  - Drill more holes and mount parts.
- Time to start higher-level behaviors
  - We will have new sensors on multiple robots soon, and they are getting good readings.
  - Volunteers to work on behaviors?
New wireless
- Ben is testing a new library with easier send/receive functions.

Our library doesn't compile from scratch?

This sounds like a problem.
Joseph will work on this.
