Re: Concurrent subteams

All our subteams fabricate their mechanisms independently. Everything works together because of the Integration & Testing (I&T) subteam.

I&T are the wanderers. They wander around, making sure that any team's work won't mess up another team's. They facilitate conflict resolutions, and carry measurements from team to team.

How wide it the chassis from inner rail to rail? I&T knows it's 19", so instead of having to find and quiz the chassis team, I just ask the I&T kid who is shadowing whatever team I'm with that day. It is their job to know all this and keep everything straight.

The CAD team serves as a double-check to make sure stuff works when assembled together.

Chassis & Drivetrain do work closely, often together, but pneumatic, electrical, manipulator and CAD hardly ever see each other, except at review sessions. Or dinner.
