On our team, I was new to manufacturing in general, let alone having never been in Robotics before. What's worse? Our team seemed pretty much set in what they wanted to do and had no time to teach.

I sat back and observed for awhile and it helped SO MUCH. Then I asked some of our engineers for odd jobs, which they gladly gave. Before I knew it, I was helping assemble our pneumatics system.

Just some advice for the upperclassmen: LET THE UNDERCLASSMEN/NEWBIES OBSERVE YOU AND TRY NOT TO GET FRUSTRATED EASILY WITH THEM. REMEMBER, YOU WERE NEW ONCE TOO.

Advice for underclassmen: WHEN OBSERVING, TRY NOT TO GET IN THE WAY. IT'S GOING TO BE HARD FOR THE UPPERCLASSMEN NOT TO GET ANGRY IF YOU'RE ALWAYS IN THE WAY. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help, just be sure to go to someone who isn't really REALLY busy.

Hope that helped.

Simply,
Danielle
