Re: Multiples 2007

Like Smita said above, we have triplets this year. It wasn't so much planned as it just happened. We have a 9th year team, a 7th year team, and a 4th year team. 226 found out on kickoff that the first team needed help, and on the Monday after kickoff that the second one did, and there wasn't much decision making involved. It was either a collaboration or no team at all. Mentoring wasn't a workable option because we didn't have the resources to divide between two teams, much less three. It's been a really great experience for all three teams though, so I'm glad it happened. All three teams worked together to design one robot and build three of them. We didn't assign robots to a team until the day before ship, and even then all students worked on all three robots. I don't have the energy to look up the thread (my brain is still melted from last week) but I recall a conversation about how to help flailing veteran teams. Maybe the veteran collaborations is an example of this issue.

In any case, Larry, Curly, and Moe are looking forward to a reunion at West Michigan!
