We on 2815 know neither. What we do know is that completing a full run of a Rube Goldberg machine is an exercise in patience that proved eerily reminiscent of our Friday at Peachtree this year. But the way the team developed processes and checks (leaving gaps in the dominos until everyone's clear, fine-tuning the finger that pokes the button, adjusting the catapult's direction and placement, flipping the toy car over when it's not armed...) was a nice parallel to what a team in FRC has to do in order to be successful.
