Re: Programming Team Size

I'd say maybe 1, but 2 or 3 is far better. One experienced programmer can get things done by themselve, assuming you get the robot to them with enough time remaining (and let's face it, that doesn't often happen). Therefore with a team, more can be done in a short time. However as soon as people start hanging around the computer(s), you've lost your effiency as a team.
