In order to focus on the final project itself (instead of its write-up), the final webpage update isn't required until 5/9, while the final project demos are on Thursday, April 30th.

Here are a few reminders of things to include on your final project's webpage:

• Archive/zip files of all of your code and a short, one- or two- paragraph description of what to look for - and look out for - if trying to use that code.
• Final pictures and movies from your project -- both in progress and from the final project demos (I will post movies I take from the final project demos so that you can link them in, but you should consider taking a few of your own, as well.)
• A final description of your approach and the results of your project -- be sure to highlight any algorithmic decisions that had an impact on your robot's performance, as well as any design decisions: both in terms of programming and in terms of the engineering of your robot platform. How did things go, in the end?
• Some concluding comments for the project, including how you might approach it differently if you were to undertake it again and/or any overall impressions you took away from working on the robot(s).
