Re: Mid-season lull

Our daily work board has the Days Left count down and is divided into Big and Small tasks. Next week I will switch from black to red marker color. Big tasks have been assigned to our most reliable (almost always there, do quality work) team members. They own those projects until they are done. The Small tasks I assign daily. Infrequent attendees and/or those with an imperfect works/broke it ratio get jobs that are within their current abilities. Oh, and there is nothing better for morale than fresh paint. Battery boxes, floor panels, pit structures....just makes the sometimes grim struggle against time and space more tolerable.

We should transfer competition controls to our practice machine on Saturday with gear management system and winch complete. The ball shooter was a stretch goal for us and could be our 30 pound with hold. Competition machine frame is 80% done so swapping the important stuff over should not tax us too much.

Now, if I could just figure out where all those 80/20 fasteners went. I suspect the kids are eating them.
