Each day opens with a brief pitch by the instructor, then moves to a team
activity for the majority of the class period, followed by a brief closer
by the instructor.


1. Monday
opener		intro, project goals and tools
activity	manual control, save and restore
closer		schedule plan for the remainder of the project

2. Wednesday
opener		algorithms - what they are, why important
activity	flow control, sensing
closer		

3. Friday
opener		some simple algorithms
activity	building mazes, environmental patches
closer

4. Monday
opener		design documentation, pseudo-code
activity	develop, document algorithms, code
closer

5. Wednesday
opener		algorithm analysis, average vs worst-case conditions
activity	implement, document
closer

6. Friday
opener		demo day
activity	present report, demonstration, exchange mazes
closer		some fancy algorithms, parallelism

7. Monday
opener		new mazes
activity	new algo designs, new maze designs, document
closer

8. Wednesday
opener		questions? design and development help
activity	implement and test algos and mazes
closer		next session is Super-Mazes, be there or be square

9. Friday
opener		pizza
activity	Super-Mazes - concurrent Maze running
closer		prizes

For Super-Mazes, each team provides a maze and a program.  Assuming about
7-8 teams, run all programs concurrently on maze 1, then 2, etc.  Cumulative
points total determines winner.  Parallel algorithms are okay, but all
turtles must find an exit before counting as done.
