I'm having fun with this flowchart.

I think it worked well for the first 2 weeks and then things fell apart. We had one crisis after another and the stress built up. I blame my self. I stopped driving it as the task master and became too reactionary to the current crisis of the night. Micro planning fell apart. I got some feed back and intend to go at it again this season.

Not to discourage you at all, Gdeaver, but a friend of mine brought up an important point about a high school robotics team. They don't consist of trained professionals. The differences between trained adults and wonky students can make a large gap. I can confirm this, being a student myself.
