Re: Do you get blamed for every thing one your team!!!

I don't really do actual mechanical work because I am an absolute klutz but out of the 7 programmers, the 2 seniors quit, 1 junior never comes and one has never programmed before and the rest of us are rookies. Only one of us actually had background in C so really all of us were programming rookies. Fortunately for us, since the mechanical teams had a small problem getting the arm and drive train built, most of the problems were based on electronics; we just found them. This made debugging horrible because we would fix our problem and they would spend 1- 2 hours fixing theirs. So, on my team, instead of blame it on the rookies it's blame it on electronics.
