 Well you have to be able to answer to many questions from the PPS students. You should either know the modeling program Blender by heart or you have to know a lot of details about the code, the framework, of Orxonox.

  * Always tell them, that when they get stuck, they should ask you and not just try lots of ways to find a way out. Sometimes you solve their problems with three clicks and they have been working on it for three hours.

  * Make the poster early. Start the design 3 weeks before the presentation. Print it at the [mailto:repro-zentrum@ethz.ch Reprozentrale] about a week before the presentation. Print approximately 20 posters à A3-size (costs 1.60 francs each). Just write an email with the link to the poster on our server.
  * Write an Ad for the Blitz. Remember that the last Blitz is published two weeks before semester end (two weeks before the presentation). So be quick enough.

  * Do never prepare something for the students during the lessons. Just work before and after the lessons.
  * Be sure to reserve some evening and nights to work on Orxonox. You should also drag as many students to those evenings so they work more and not you have to do all the work.
- * On these evenings you should buy pizzas for everyone. Be sure to order them early because the pizza guy is normally quite slow and they don't know where Physikstrasse 3 is (the adress of the ETL building is or how to get there). The zip code is 8092! There are several places in Zurich to order a pizza. Some are good, some are really bad. (We recommand Domino's Pizza: One Party Pizza for two hungry PPS-Students). Be sure to call the Örlikon-Branch of Domino's Pizza.

  * Also do not buy too much beer. You and the students need to be fit to code. We rather suggest a coke as perfect beverage to the pizza.

  * Make Power Point Slides if you want to show anything theoretically. The design should always be the same. Different designs during a presentation sucks.
- * You should probably have a presentation branche right two or one week(s) before the presentation, because then the hacks are implemented and we do not want them in our trunk, do we?

  * The presentation itself should be a great show. Of course everything is going to be hacked, but relax as long as it looks good at the presentation. ;)
