Re: Mid-season lull

I usually try to make sure we meet important, obvious milestones once a week to keep the morale up, as well as try to do something fun and not robot related once in a while. The big thing is to keep everyone on track of what your goals were back on kickoff, and not to stray from them as the season gets to that "lull".

Having large deadlines to meet every Saturday is a great way to keep the students on track. This includes things like drivetrain functioning, mechanisms fabricated, mechanisms mounted and programmed etc.

Not only does this help to give you an idea about what you need to work on each day, but it also allows you to see obvious progress every week.
