Old announcements

• [4/9] The lab should read "to be completed by April 16" instead of the 15th. If you cannot make one of the time slots on the calendar, then contact Andrea Maggi maggia@rpi.edu and arrange another time with her. To reserve a time, go to calendar.yahoo.com. The login name is "robotalgorithms". (I gave the password out in class.)

• [3/31] I'm going to have to cancel my office hours Tuesday morning April 2. (At least the part from 10 to 11.) If you were planning on stopping by during office hours, please email me to arrange some other time to come by.
