Task Forces

I suggest each group be divided into smaller task forces. I know, we are already talking about groups of 5 or fewer people. Nonetheless, task forces are still useful for such small groups.

Task forces can be permanent or temporary. For example, when the drive system and chassis are being designed, a temporary task force for the overall mechanical design is useful. Another example is a temporary task force that researches what embedded controllers are available and evaluate different options.

At a later stage, a tuning task force can help the fine tuning of the robot. This task force may or may not include the programming members because the programmers are probably busy enough already.
