Re: How do you make design decisions as a "team"?
As mentioned by others, strategy should drive your design process.
How do we effectively eliminate ideas without hurting feelings? Take the "feasible" ideas and put them through a selection matrix with all the factors you are considering. The best solution will become visible through the highest number, and then give you alternatives based on your ranking for each task. This will give you the direction of the best 2 or 3 ideas to prototype and then come back for a second evaluation and make a decision.
Side note: Please don't let the mentors/adults stray to far away. We (the mentors) are there to accelerate the students desire and ability to learn. Otherwise, the students are not benefitting the FIRST Experience as much as they can or should be.
