Re: [Poll] YMTC: Would this team structure function?
It would seem that there is a potential loss of learning in the process...I believe that FIRST isn't about learning to be an engineer (that's what a college education is for). I do, however, feel it is very important that the students practice critical thinking skills. What are the potential advantages/disadvantages for this feature of our robot? How do we choose what strategy to follow in different scenarios? What systems will be lessened due to the demands of another system...
It would also seem very difficult to have the 2 student groups come to a team consensus on the design and strategy of the robot. Would the odd-day students be as interested or dedicated if their decisions and conclusions were overturned by the even-day students?
It's really hard to say...definitely an interesting idea, though.
