Re: Engineer Help!!!!!PLEASE!!!!
I feel you're pain.
My first year on the team, we spent an entire meeting discussing whether or not we should have one gripper or two. Most of the points made were just being repeated and we wasted a lot of time. Last year, our team had the same problem, but not as bad. Both years, we had trouble getting our robot out on time and no time to practice. This year, we got most of our strategizing done in the first meeting. Our robot currently is further along then last years was when we shipped it.
Some lessons require failure.
You said a lot of the people on your team are freshmen. If you stick with it, eventually they'll learn, if not from you, them from first-hand experience.
