Thanks you for your responses.

To Sachiel7: HEHE when i read your response I was laugh at the compairson to my teams first year last year. We had a family always annoying us to but that did help our team greatly. And our whole team did argue and stuff the all the time but when it came down to it we were like peanut butter and jelly on bread tasteing so good and working as one! And our team ran almost identical to what u said.

To Sanddrag: I think that our team worked awesome last year and perfect for us because we made a kick $@#$@#$@# robot for a rookie team and did well in competition. I dont think its impossible to make a perfect team structure but I think that your rite in saying that the true members do stand out!

To John Reese: Thanks for your optomisum(lol im glade i like science and math and not english). And I think in time we will build our perfect team for this season.

To Kenwitt: We have 1 main teacher running the group and one of are members father helped us with the building. It sounds like your an advisor. I think the problem with our team is that the teach wants to incorporate everyone with everything thats why I said that they present there makings to the team so that everyones involved. I think it sould be ran almost like a business (sorta how you sounded) but with more unitty and not just seprate groups working to join together there ideas to make some something.



The real question I have is how do I work with a our advisor? He is also a debate coach and its hard to plan stuff with him. He's busy alot but still puts alot of time into the club. But when I talk to him out of school about robotics hes always tired and im always very annoying with my emails.

For our last meeting I set up a whole schedule...
Things to do on 10/08/03-
1) New Calendar Items!
2) Form committees.
3) Give people fundraising info.
4) Get committees running.
- PR- Talk about designs.
- Fundraisers- Brain storm up new ideas for money.
5) Committee shares ideas and then team makes decision.
6) People go home and work on them!


Then I also had a write up on each of the preseason committees...

Sub Committee Research- Find places to buy materials from for 2003-04 season!
These are some committees we need to fill to get stuff done before season starts! These committees are temporary and only for pre build season. Don’t worry about not being able to do the cool building and stuff right now. We need to get prepared financially and in our appearance for the competitions in March and for Bin Bash.
