Re: Pitfalls to avoid when brainstorming the 2011 game and robot

If there is ever one thing I regret in designing, it is that often times the freshmen and sophomores get ignored! New or not, they have ideas too!

Some times [and more often than not, I've noticed], older, more experienced people over complicate things. I showed breakaway and a few other games to my Lego League teams, [I have three], and each one had totally different ideas, but all were valid and all had been used at some competition I had been to! The designs [although not all too neatly drawn] were simple and effective.

Sometimes fresh minds on a project are a good thing! You never know what you might have overlooked.
