Our biggest problem last year was too many people doing the same thing. At one point 5 people were building the frame, and it took 2 weeks, which is a rediclious amount of time for such a simple task.
As for the actual design of the robot, everyone gets their imput, and we all decide on what we want to build. I just want to have groups of people working on each different sub assembly instead of everyone working on one thing at a time.
Basically this is what I have come up with so far, please suggest and changes or additions-
- Frame
- Drive Train
- Game Device depending on what we need to do
- Electrical
- Programming
- General Help- floaters who can do a number of tasks
The general help people would be the more advanced people in the team. Hopefully they will know the inner workings of each of the sub systems well, so that they can do repairs in the pits with a minimun number of people.
