Robotics - Team Reshuffle

Today, the coach of the robotics teams reported that he had talked with some of the other school administrators and decided to change the teams. They are now going to go with the original plan of having one super-team of experienced people and a team of the new people. This should maximize the productivity of the people who really know what they're doing while letting the new people discover what works and maybe find something the veterans wouldn't.

This arrangement does leave the newbies without a programmer (or somebody who can set up their WiFi router), so I imagine I'll be giving them some help in my downtime.

After the short team meeting where this was announced, I destroyed the my documentation about the old teams and created a new OneDrive share with a new team roster document. We fixed the rivet issues created last time employing the help of a drill. We also went to the hardware store and bought some longer rivets to avoid such problems in the future.

The construction of the field's center assembly is still not close to complete, but at least we removed all the failed rivets from the holes. Next time, we'll mount the clear plastic and hopefully the ball bucket.
