Introduction

Last year, we have shown on December 18 that we can build our GVCS machines in a single day.

This year, our goal is to show that we can design a single complex machine - in One Day.

The question is - what is a success? It is making major improvements on an existing design (such as thorough redesign based on test-driven design of a former prototype) or starting a complete design from scratch.

We will try this until we succeed.
