Re: Team Argument!

Another general comment -- these sorts of approach disagreements can frequently be solved within two weeks by building prototypes. When I did FRC we went through a lot of plywood, 2x4s, PVC pipe, and cordless drills (they make great temporary power sources) in prototyping. With FTC and VRC we just use the parts slobbed together to demonstrate approaches. You can usually lock in an approach after the prototyping, especially if the team members can agree in advance to accept the results of the prototype "shoot-out" and that there are agreed-upon analysis criteria.

Good luck.
