PANEL: Decision Making & Compromise During a Design Process

[JesseK]

Heh. Just fresh in my mind is the toughest season I've had; while I feel my decisions were logical and quantitative, it's been a very long and tiring process in defending them. All in all, we've had the best robot we've ever had (and subsequently, the least-awarded, heh) yet I still feel this season is best. I will be there, if only with the hope to figure out how to make future seasons easier.

Additional question -- will this apply mainly to competition robots, or also to general real-world scenarios where there are engineers in the room with more experience and knowledge than a lower level engineer can even fathom?
