There are so many great things in this presentation! I'm editing it into lessons for our design students, scouts-strategies and drivers. Thank you very much for sharing.


The presentation mentions the opportunity to watch the 1114 Running a Team seminar. I found the (2007) slides for it on the Simbotics website. Is it recorded somewhere as well? Thanks again.

I took about 5 minutes to skim through the video, only to find it's so helpful and full of info that I needed to watch more. A great presentation so far! Time to pull out the notebook and study.

Dang, I wish I had gotten to see these in person when I was a student... If the B/G's club down the road gets a team, the (latest at the time) video's info will be part of the backbone and the video perhaps as required viewing. Heck some of the ideas have already seeped into a hypothetical team "constitution" I am writing.

Thanks Karthik for lots of great ideas!

An excellent and most helpful presentation, especially (for our team) the part about scouting. Thanks so much for taking the time and making the effort to do this!

Haven't watched much, but I watched the OPR segment over lunch. Not a false word in it. Also, I'm glad that I guessed most of the important flaws with it in my previous post.

I got a valid CD PM that this video I posted could be inappropriate for student CD members...

I APOLOGIZE for using it as I now see how it can misconstrued as to what is going on...

An explanation... the scene from a Chevy Chase movie, "Modern Problems", DOES NOT involve inhaling/snorting drugs... as I remember it, it involved the Chase character developing "powers" and becoming maniacally-funny and he cleaned a room containing ASH that was used in some ritual by inhaling it all in one big inhale through his mouth... like a "human vacuum cleaner"...

I can see how this could be misinterpreted as condoning something THAT I DO NOT CONDONE... and I again apologize for using this video... --Michael Blake
