====== Max Ottesen ======

I'm a CS undergrad here at UNM. I'm in my 4th year and am minoring in music (voice, more specifically). In my free time I like to rock climb and play video games.

**8/25/14 - 9/08/14**
  * Been trying stuff out for shark week challenge 2
  * Tried the suggestions that other people suggested like walls, but I couldn't find consistently stable wall configurations
  * Tried using the Data element like Ezra suggested
  * Also tried using the Ix element and it works great, just like the data element. My longest run was > 100 kAEPS before I had to leave the CS lab. I'm not sure if this is true, but the Ix element seemed to move around slightly more slowly and I seemed to get slightly better results with it compared to the data element. I might just be making stuff up though.
  * Was messing around with the Mq element because I could get it to set up the grid like someone else suggested. That didn't produce great results though (< 30 kAEPS).
  * I'm interested in what the Mq element is actually for
