Re: Program Management: The Six Phases of a Project
well I'm really really happy because that's how going to the build sessions make me fell but I'm also in a panic because our robot isn't half-way done and we estimated our total weight in process(we have everthing just not together) and we're way past 120 lbs. most likely. Our flywheel isn't working the way we wanted, our hopper is fully being redesigned, at least we have a harvester, and our successful launching of a ball was on Saturday due to the fact pneumatics decided to rig up a catapult together. But hey, in the end we'll have something.

Re: Program Management: The Six Phases of a Project
I'm kind of alternating between enthusiasm and disillusionment still. I should hit panic pretty soon.

Re: Program Management: The Six Phases of a Project
I think we hit 'search for the guilty' right after we found out that the robot is overweight. That was 2 days ago, I believe. We had a little of 'punishment of the innocent' yesterday after school. Now we are back at 'panic' because the robot isn't even close to being done and no one knows how to drive it.

Re: Program Management: The Six Phases of a Project
We are both at "search for the guilty" and "disillusionment". Some people are at panic instead of disillusionment. THe search for the guilty invloves that the electrical/mechanical teams wouldn't give the programmers the robot, and the disillusionment was that we thought we'd be done 5 days ago. We were wrong.

Re: Program Management: The Six Phases of a Project
Searching for the guilty scale person is the closest one.

Thursday Weight was under
Friday WAY OVER
Weekend=Whine and Cheese=WAY UNDER

My Theory= Someone botched the scale

Dropping 10lb-15lb in 2 days, possible but not as much as we dropped.
