with the guidance of our wonderful and awesome mentors, the entire robot was preliminarily
designed by students before it was
built. as kit said before (he got to this before i did) because of where we actually build the robot, theres too much liability for the dangers of the environment in which we work for students to be using the heavy machinery out at the Prototype Lab at KSC. the way our team works is that we split up into different groups on the basis of what you are interested in. sometimes people cross-over into different groups at times for brainstorming and just helping out in general, and some people, like myself, are involved in many different groups. in all reality, sometimes when too many people try to help, it just gets counter-productive. with a team with 73 people on it, if all 73 people worked on the actual design and build of the robot, theres no way it could have gotten done in time. there are just too many different opinions, too many different ways of doing things, too many different people all wanting to work on the same thing, and in the end, it just doesnt exactly work. while i was on the Chairman's Award, Scouting, Fund Raising, Drive Team and Spirit Groups, i also branched over to the Tower Design and Hook Design Groups a few times to give feedback on the prototype designs they were coming up with to help make things better. but all in all, before we even started on designing and building the robot, everyone on the team voted on the basic design concept they liked best before we went ahead and started building, so all in all, everyone on the team had some input.
just an brief glance at the inside workings of team 233.
