Behemoth  The robot  Subsystem design Ed- Locomotion Justin- Bump sensing Kevin- Pushing Rachel- Optical sensor Shawn- Shooter

Design Process  Brainstorming Isolated groups  Decision making Pugh matrices biased  Team skills Minutes helpful Agendas not useful No defined roles Bump Sensor Shooter Design

Review, Revision, and Verification  Constant process  Design, build, test, redesign  Verification done constantly  Better documentation for testing

Lessons Learned  Constant verification Testing subsystems Finalized design  Relaxed team roles  More formalized testing  Better container for robot  Single format for documentation  Role reassignment

Conclusions  Team work and responsibilities  Formal process Too formal for small scale Applicable to large scale  Role of the engineer

Mindstorm Gladiators  Soccer shoot-out  Offense Shoots from fixed locations Points granted on successful goal  Defense Contained in goalie box Human controlled via IR  Roles switch  Same design for both  Completion time is tie breaker  Tournament
