+Each section will design and build a "machine" - this means anything that includes **mechanism, actuation, automation and application.** 
+
+You'll get a [**kit of parts**](KIT.md) to do this, and we have [**an example linear axis**](TODO) and [**an example rotary axis**](TODO) that you can use as building blocks. We also have two example projects: [**a xylophone that plays itself**](TODO) and a [**small, very fast drawing machine**](TODO). We also provide a [**set of modular hardware and software for motion control**](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/machineweek-2024-control) (requires a gitlab login) to help get things moving. 
+
+You should also **document your machine** and **use git to collaborate** a-la last year's examples:

+- CBA Section 2023: [repo](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/classes/863.23/CBA/machine) and [website](https://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/863.23/CBA/machine/index.html)

 ### **Mechanism:** mechanical degrees-of-freedom (DOF)
 
-Stuff shuld move around.
+Stuff should move around!

+- [Mechanical Principles](https://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/865.21/topics/mechanical_design//principles/)
 
 ### **Actuation:** computer-controllable motion of the above DOFs
 
 The motion should be computer controlled.
 
-### **Automation / Application** software-coordinated computer-control of the above, and i.e. sequences therein
+- [Stepper Controllers](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/machineweek-2024-control/-/tree/main/circuits/simple-stepper?ref_type=heads) (TODO: improve doc) 
+- [Transmissions](https://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/865.21/topics/mechanical_design//transmissions/)  
 
-The motion should result in some desired outcome... maybe make something, draw something, change something, assemble something, sort something, cast a spell, etc.
+### **Automation / Application** software-coordinated computer-control of the above, to accomplish a task.

+- [Path Planning](https://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/865.24/topics/path_planning/index.html)  
+- [Computer Vision ?](https://quentinbolsee.pages.cba.mit.edu/mas865.24_computer-vision/)  
 
-> [Ilan](https://web.mit.edu/imoyer/www/index.html) (inventor of [CoreXY](http://www.corexy.com/)) would urge us to think more carefully about "tools" - what does it mean to build a computer-controlled system that acts like a tool, interacting with the world but being mediated by some designer's intent... it's a [foamcore world](https://web.mit.edu/imoyer/www/portfolio/foamcore/index.html).

+The machines you design and build **don't need to be complicated** - try to de-risk ideas early, and do stuff that "works right away" rather than complex projects that require hundreds of details to come together all at once in order to work. This can be fun; have fun.

-- teamworks! 
-  - have a project manager 
-  - divide into sub-teams, but talk often 
-    - electronics / software
-    - mechanism
-    - documentation 
-    - cad/cam ? 
-- prototype in cardboard, mechanisms can move 'by hand'
-- commit to your vision (no backtracking)
-- spiral development !
-- document all the time, it should be one person's job !
-  - one page per team, 
-  - note individual contributions on your page

-## Demo Desires
-
-- finish the xylophone, in-modular-things, and as a standalone ?
-	- do it for the deploy / wall sitter 
-- scara plotter ! 
-- want a way to bottle demos
-	- cad / cam / circuits, each as standalone mono-repo ? 
-	- web UI is for sketching, deploy is different... 
-- a plotter ? (servo and axes) 
-- a lil robot arm, 3dof 
-- accelerometer-to-stage ? 
-- etc-a-sketch the plotter
-- a walking robot ? it'd be a good demo for the graphs thing also, anyways... sequencing, etc... 
+- check in about TA input / meetings *every day* ... ! 
+
+## Demo Building 
+
+- assemble, photograph and doc (exports) the linear dof 
+- assemble, photograph and doc (exports) the rotary dof 
+- ... one-dof code (!) 
+- finish xylo update with the router
+  - x unfk the shite cable routing 
+    - consider... this could be example w/ new linear axis... 
+    - also included: limit switches ! 
+  - write HAL (w/ homing) for quentin 
+- the little guy
+  - x assemble the little guy
+  - program the little guy (using new drivers?)
+  - put the little guy in a repo / get a demo video ? 
+
+## Kit Assembly 
+
+- finalize router, hbridge, deadbugger, stepper firmwares and load / test them all 
+- finish one complete kit and grab a photo 
+
+### Repo / Docs 
+
+- the little guy, the xylophone
+  - standalone repos I think, w/ all hardware / software / circuits ? 
+  - ... consider doing the same for simple linear axes, since we re-use those occasionally as well ? IDK - consult w/ quentin 
+- them little wire management things 
+- the ballz (need to be a little bigger) 
+- notes on making ribbon cables 
+- for controllers: CAD for mounts 
+- mount patterns for other things: extrusion sizes, linear axes dimensions (and bolt patterns) ? 
+
+### Other Odds / Ends / Thoughts for Later 
+
+- raspberry pi's on the demo machines ? 
+- firmware programming ... how will they do it ? 
+	- should/could we promote the anything-as-a-python-object codes ? 
+- how to rename devices, besides just uploading new firmwares ? 
+- limit switch boards, or some other way to Reduce Limit Switch Suffering (or fk it, focus on code) 
+- a backpack-to-whatever circuit / it's reciprocal ? 
+	- jlcpcb rush assy ? 
+- should demo projects get rolled into standalone repositories ? 
+- the handbook ? 
+- the mega compound plotter ?
