Re: Team Argument!
Ok, being a part of both types of groups, here is my insight:
A splinter group is usually driven by pride in one design. This happened to my team last year. The 4 most experienced students we had (myself included) wanted a shooter design. We KNEW this could be done and built in time and work. Certain people *cough* were in favor of one design which was the design out game mech dept. was forced to build. Being a fabricator myself, I took personal feelings and thoughts aside while I worked to build the team's design. It epic failed, and the shoot was amazing, needless to say those people against the shooter felt really stupid...
That said, being as it is your rookie year and you are the lead programmer, you need to RELAX not to say that you should stop everything, but as a programmer, the robot depends on you, and you need to not be stressed...
Whatever robot you ship, no matter how it turns out, you will have a killer time at Competition...
If you need help there, people will be more than willing to help so in the end you will be fine...
Like everyone else I am drifting...
So what to do now? Well you guys need to patch up the rift. Untied we build robots, divided we end the team (extremes but true)
Finally just remember "DON'T PANIC"
