Writing and Teamwork Meeting

During this meeting we discussed some of the problems that the Apollo 13 team faced, and worked in teams to try and pick up marbles, using a teamwork activity we found on the NASA web site. We used marbles, spoons, knives, forks, dowel rods, and DUCT TAPE!!! Who can forget the DUCT TAPE?!?!?!?

We explored creating strategies in challenging situations, working alone and working in teams. We did a few exercises to help us learn to work together instead of competing against each other, something that is important in BEST Robotics.
