Re: Programming Team Size

Team Fusion had one engineer (me) and one student during the 2004 season. In 2005 we upped it to the two of us from 2004 and 4 additional students. In reality, one experienced person (engineer or really sharp student) and two or three people wanting to learn about programming are what you need. Since I was always about 1.5 - 2 hours late each night of the build season, I broke our programming team last year down into semi-scouts. I put one person with the mechanical team, one with pneumatics, and one with electrical. When I got to the shop from work we would meet to discuss what surprises the other groups had added to the robot without letting us know in advance.
