Hi, I'm the electrical lead on team 868, the TechHOUNDS. We have such a big team that we sometimes struggle to have enough projects for everyone to do. For the preseason, I'm having my new members stick with me to learn the basics, and having my veteran members work on a couple different projects. One of them is fixing the team's favorite robot from a few years ago using the new control system. The other group is soldering ecg simulators for an organization that will send them to a third-world country for cheap medical equipment. If you are interested in this project, you can order the kits at
http://www.ewh.org/students/2013-12-.../advanced-kits . Both of the groups are learning a lot and they're having fun too! I hope this helps!
