Project Evaluation

     Earlier in the semester when the guidelines for the projects were handed out, Greg, Antonio, and I came up with the idea of building a combat robot. Out of all of the possible projects to choose from, we decided that the combat robot was easily the most interesting project and perhaps the easiest to construct. On the night when the PERT charts were due, Greg was absent, so Antonio and I were the ones who laid out the project plans and objectives to Professor Mason. But Greg certainly helped us out in the days prior by giving us some brilliant ideas on what to put on our chart. In the following weeks, we met about once or twice a week to work on our robot at Greg’s house. We all pitched in approximately $20 in the supplies needed to build our robot. We spent countless hours soldering the chassis and gluing on all the parts that was necessary to build a successful robot. We all contributed equally in this respect. I took primary responsibility in taking the photos for our group for the PowerPoint slides while we were constructing our robot. Greg did an awesome job as the leader of our group and even worked on the robot on his own free time when the group was not together. The three of us finally completed our robot and we discussed how we were to go about our presentation. Antonio, being the expert that he is in creating PowerPoint slides took charge in creating the slides while Greg and I continued giving him feedback and ideas regarding the presentation slides. In sum, we all worked hard on this project together, but Greg deserves extra credit for the leadership he brought to the table.
