No, we didn't obliterate the concept completely. Ask anyone, building a robot alone is no fun! As a part of the brainstorming
process, we decided to divide our team into specific, identified "sub-teams" to work on each aspect of BEST. We have discovered
that this method is much more efficient and stress-reducing than the disorganized ways we worked in past years. We had a team
for the movie, a team to build, a team to drive, and a team for the website. The team members all agree that this way was
better:
"We got it all done on time!"
"It was easier to work everyone's strengths and use them where they would do the best at."
"It was a lot easier!"
"Too many cooks spoil the soup; by dividing into mini-teams, we got to specialize in one or two areas
instead of doing everything all at once."
"Everyone has their own strengths. Some people aren't creative, or good at science, or good at speaking.
By using these strengths we became more successful!"
"It gives everyone a responsibility and makes everyone work hard, and we work together better as
a whole."
