What are the Best Things about Working Together?
You can ask for support or help if you’re not sure about something. Being on a team means there is always company and different ideas are brought to the table when you have someone else, therefore you have more creativity put into your project. Having a partner to work with helped a lot in the sense of avoiding mistakes by double-checking. Communication was great between the two of us which really helps us with making improvements on the car.
What Changed about Your Project Over Time?
Once we realized we had a shot at winning we put all our heart into the project. We were craving a victory and a chance to travel to D.C.
What did You Learn by Working on this Project as a Team?
