Re: Rookie Realization
Here at 393 we meet everyday, Monday-Friday from 5:30pm - 8:30pm. We've split up into sub-teams, and we're all working on a different aspect of the team and the competition. We had a goal of being done, I think, by the beginning of Week 5 so that we could test for 2 weeks before we shipped.
But, here we sit, at the end of Week 5... still not done. It's not really a rookie problem, but it's more a problem that our team took their sweet time (the first three weeks) coming up with a design, and then still had to order materials.
Advice to teams: Have as much of your materials donated as you can, as get as many materials donated to you during the off-season as you can. This way, you don't lose money if you don't use the material, and you also have a pluthera of materials to choose from when it's time to start building. And... you don't have to wait for materials...
