sub-team tension???

[dhitchco]

During build season, the sub-teams tend to go off and "do their own thing" and only interact when they need to (e.g. electrical, mechanical....and nobody pay attention to the "softer" sub-teams such as spirit, animation, awards, etc).

So, it's always fun to dedicate one night of non-work for a "spirit" night to have fun team awards, photo opportunities, etc just as a breather.

Just be thankful that this is indeed a limited six-week project. If it was the real world corporate stylie, we'd be doing this 24/7/365...........

We don't seem to have a lot of tension between the subteams. That's probably because the electrical group is taking a lot of its cues from the software group, and because I (as the software mentor) am paying very close attention to the mechanical group's occasional changes in what motors and actuators they decide to use. If there were less communication going on, there would be a lot more tension.

We do have a lot of general tension in the team as a whole, but with less than two weeks until ship date that's to be expected.
