Much has happened over the past two classes. After splitting into groups, we got a basic wire-frame laid out, and the programming team downloaded applications to begin basic work. Additionally, Collin Bolles, Renee Banagan, Stella Haley, and Jillian Zick met with Marc DeNofio (the communications manager of Team Rubicon) on December 5th to discuss the project. He elucidated the nature of the problem for us- Team Rubicon's main issues lie in slow communication, text disorganization, and lack of battery life on their phones. Therefore, our application must facilitate effective and simple communication while only using a small portion of the battery. It is very likely that we will not have a hardware-based portion in this project, but if the project begins to go in that direction, we will adjust accordingly.
