Space is very limited!

• Those who need the practical skill first
• Each group submit a 1-page description about the
  research project you are working on to justify
  your need
• Also, group member name and student ID
• By email to sylau_at_ntu.edu.tw
• Please respect the final decision
• Others can audit but will not be allocated the
  sensor network kit for manipulation
