More written notes between Charis and Lahar are below. Lahar will be programming/creating the communication protocol between the robot and the host. Here we discussed what data is being passed and what the communication standard may look like. Furthermore, how to check that the data was not corrupted during transmission (parity bits, CRC, TCP protocol). 

We also came to conclusion that the Women in Engineering program at UT might know of some useful resources for our design implementation.
