Team issues and difficulties?....(not just technical ones)

[Alaina]

I've been worried about this for about a week, but luckily a mentor brought up the same issue, and people listen to mentors. Anyway,the main thing is:
Our robot thus far is quite heavy. And all we have designed is the drive train. We don't have anything for an arm or pneumatics or anything...

*Anything else said in this post will be personal opinions...that are shared with other members of the team...many of them.*

We don't have much of "student-run" team anymore...It's more of a "Single-student dictator." It's not kool. That particular student has the design in his head, makes a picture, and then gets his engineer dad to make a more comprehensive picture for us to work off of. This student will graduate after this season, and I'll be the most veteran member next year. This will NOT be happening again.

We're using wood next year. Alluminum? No. 3/8" plywood? Yes.
