So what is the difference between Brainstorming and Planning? Brainstorming doesn’t have as much tension involved.

We are really working hard to use the planning methods that our Boeing mentors taught us this summer. I wish one of our engineer mentors had been here.

There was a more than spirited discussion about the wheels,: how many, how big, and so many, many words.

There was an analogy between how the design of the space shuttle was reached  and how the design of this robot is being reached.

We are a highly organic team and this planning stuff is new, scary and difficult.
