Week three is ending with the team trying to touch base again with communication. Everyone has been really excited about building and designing, but no one has been talking to each other. This has caused problems, incorrectly fabricated pieces, and stalled progress.

So this afternoon the team is pulling ourselves back together (instead of continuing to pull ourselves apart), and talking things through. We've got a chassis 2" shorter than we designed it sitting on a cart as we work through putting the drive train together, and two subsystems mostly designed in CAD. Our AndyMark and BaneBot's orders both came in yesterday. All in all, it's going to be OK as long as people stop panicking.

It's a solid, simple design and I have absolute faith in my teams abilities, so long as we work together. With five more hours tonight, and eight hours tomorrow, we can get some serious progress done.

Then week four begins, and we'll see what happens next!
