[Not2B]

We have the hours cards...
We try to make sure everyone did SOMETHING on the robot or team...

But to really hold the team together, we have found that it has to be fun. Can't bark orders at people. They have to want to be there.

So you say - the team doesn't want to go play laser tag. OK, start small. See what everyone is interested in. Maybe they like to play cards - OK, set up a card night. Or a card playing meeting during some down time. Or maybe they like movies. Play a movie clip on a laptop at the beginning of the meeting. Or have a movie night at someone's house. Or get everyone out to the movies. I know - it sounds weird not working on ALL ROBOT ALL THE TIME, but it's a good thing.

This is something our team looses focus on - the "fun" part. So we have remind ourselves from time to time.

(And yes, building robots is fun - but so is the short movie "troops")
