Does anyone have that one team member who is at every possible meeting and annoys you to death. Where almost everything they do is detrimental to progress and diminishes your spirit. That kid that doesn't listen to mentors, and ruins things as a result. They want to do everything, but they don't know how to do anything. They play with power tools, using up batteries and endangering everyone around them. Begging everyone to stop working on the robot just so that they can test drive it, and then crash it, knocking out vital parts of the robot that must then be repaired. They also operate the moving parts without warning, while they are being worked on. They slow down the though process by making impossible suggestions. they're Always eating, and requesting that more food be provided. They think they are always right, even when they aren't, and they are the first to tell you when your doing something wrong. When ever something does go wrong, they insist that it wasn't there fault. This could be the smallest kid there, but they still talk trash and curse people out when they get mad. Then they laugh at you when you hurt yourself, and blame you for being lazy when you have to leave early.

Basically, The kid that is NOT a team player, and THE opposite of a gracious professional. I'm sure that every team has a kid like the one that i described, and if you would like to join me in this rant to let off your own steam, you are welcome.

Bashing your team members on a public forum is a one way ticket to Dysfunction Junction. And I'm sure your mentors will not be very happy that you did this as well. Keep your dirty laundry in house.
