+# general idea
+- discord bot run by the server
+- use discord.js
+- don't use discord's slash commands
+  - listen for commands the old fashioned way
+  - only admins with IDs set in the server config can use commands
+- use nice looking embeds with colors for everything but messages
+
+# features
+
+## admin server management commands
+- admins can lock and unlock rovers from discord
+- admins can change the server access control mode
+
+## announcements
+- the bot has an announcements channel assigned in the server config. It will also have an announcement role ID to optionally ping. it will announce:
+  - when a rover is locked / unlocked (no ping)
+  - when the server access mode is changed (ping)
+- the bot will have an admin ping role and alert channel. in here will be:
+  - rover activity (no pings)
+    - docking
+    - charging
+    - stopping charging
+    - undocking
+  - rover alerts (ping)
+    - rover comes online
+    - rover goes offline
+    - rover is at warn battery
+    - rover is at urgent battery
+
+## chat bridge
+- bridge between the server chat and discord chat
+- use chat events that are on the bus already
