Great stuff!
Our team emphasizes the "continuous improvement", "design is an iterative process", "engineering is all about problem solving" type build season. It is a lot of fun and turns out a good product.

I feel proud when you can ask a student "so is it good enough?" and they'll respond with a laundry list of things that we could try and experiment with to improve it. It does make those control guys kinda antsy though.
