Selected filmography
gollark: He was meant to be doing the obstacle course thing, didn't particularly do anything, and was told by Mr Wilde to work out how to use the xbox controller, which is doomed to failure I think.
gollark: I know Joshua *isn't*, at least?
gollark: I'm not clear exactly what everyone is doing, but:- Ojas and someone are doing mechanical/hardware design, which is general to basically all the challenges- me and Aidan are doing cameras and sensors, which generalizes to most of them- actually I have no idea if anyone else is doing anything
gollark: Only because lots of people are effectively just ignoring the team divisions.
gollark: I don't think mr wilde will mind if we come up with a better way to organize stuff and explain why.
