Re: Team Argument!

For the FTC, we had about 5 ideas swirling around, and mine was picked. Not by the team, mind you, but the logistics coach. On his own. In one day. Once I saw the new kit of parts, I didn't like my idea. We still went with it. With only two weeks left, we (myself and two or three others) realized that it wasn't working. We made this decision at lunch, and had a working phase 1 prototype by 4 in the afternoon. While the robot didn't do too hot in competition, Jake is still the robot I'm the most proud of.

I AM NOT SAYING to wait till the last minute and change everything, but I am saying stick to your design, the coaches aren't always right, so build it and prove them wrong.

I joined FIRST and stuck with it. It was nice enough to return the favor.
