Re: Getting every member to know everything possible.

X-Whaaaaaaaat?!? 11 members? isn't there a limit of 10?

This is my first year not being an FLL kid, and during my tenure as an FLL kid I never understood why every kid must know about the robot. Sure FIRST is engineering based, but the big boys are diversified just like FLL was wayyy back in 2001.

When I was on a team of 8 members with about 6 of them usually on the research side, the six each picked up something interesting to them just by happen stance. Simply make sure that the kids know who knows what. Have the really knowledgable ones hold back until the tougher questions, the ones they are qualified to answer. Chances are there'll be easy ones that most team members will be able to answer and then there'll be tough ones that the kids who live the robot can answer.
