Re: Team Communication

Our team struggled with the email thing too. For a while I was texting people to check their email after a particularly important one was sent out until they got into the habit of checking their email on their own.

Since our team was relatively small and split between 2 or 3 sites each Saturday, we created a GroupMe about halfway through build season which was an enormous help with reminders to check email and last minute changes of plan (except the mentors weren't on it, which did cause a couple issues). GroupMe is also extremely useful at competitions for communicating between the pit and the stands to organize lunch and so on, but it can quickly turn to spamming and it's useless once people turn off notifications because they're sick of the spam.
