Hi Luke, Bob is organizing some sub team meetings around ML2 going forward, we'll be sure to include you in those! Right now, there are 4 blueprints open for continued ML2 work. I'm not aware of anyone doing a controller MechanismDriver yet, so you may have just signed up to be the first!

Looking forward to having you a part of the ML2 team!

Kyle
