Re: Is your team ready ?

There is always so much more you can prototype before season, so much more you can practice and so much more you can learn! I think each sub team could have another 2 months and not truly be where we want. Programmers made the leap to C++ this year and could use more time to learn. Business team is still in the process of finding us a potential build site due to a possible eviction (our sponsor's building got sold so it is owned by different people). Myself and a mentor (build team) recently set up and repaired a roughly 50 year old Miller TIG welder, creating a redneck water cooler (55 gallon barrel with a small little water), so there is so much more practice we could use to actually refine our aluminum welding skills. If you've TIG welded aluminum, you understand it's not the simplest thing to do, especially on a 50 year old machine

All in all, I'm pretty sure the team is hyped! This is finally the water game year because ya know, it takes water to make steam
