Re: Most undervalued job

Probably electrical. This includes the battery people and programmers. Our teams big problem is our tendency to wait to the last minute to get things done. So mechanical is finishing their work the first day of competition and electrical has to scramble to wire everything in the course of an hour. Overall it isn't that bad, but the head of our electrical sub team would have you think otherwise.

During competition one of the mentors would yell to him, "Is electrical done yet?" evey three minutes. He had a assortment of repsonses, but the one I remember was, "Mechanicall had 400 hours, we have 4."
