"Could you have POSSIBLY make it ANY more complicated?"
Tony Norman of Innovation First fame upon seeing CD6

One of our lessons learned this year will almost certainly be to do less. This is one of those lessons that has to be learned over and over again.

Each year we think we are just that much smarter than we were the prior year. At times we are too clever for our own good.

I know for a fact that we should have listened to the advice I gave so passionately to rookie teams at the the Chief Delphi Rookie Camp:

THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN ENGINEER INTO YOUR MACHINE THAT TRUMPS DRIVE TIME! A SIMPLE MACHINE FINISHED EARLY WILL ALWAYS BEAT AN ENGINEERING MARVEL THAT THE DRIVE TEAM HAS NEVER DRIVEN.

The words burn my eyeballs as I read them.

As a recovering Die-hard Cubs fan, I can say with only mild irony, "Wait 'til next year"

Joe J.
