How effectively did your work (in terms of communication and interactions)?

During the project I worked with Jihoon and we were able to cleanly and concisely using discord as a form of communication to discuss issues or successes in the project. From what I remember, there was not a moment in which one of us was not aware what the other knew. We discussed all the changes that needed to be made and who was going to make them.

 How were you and any of your team members particularly valuable to the team? Explain.

We tried to balance out the workload as much as we could with me designing and printing the body/wheels, and jihoon making the mousetrap and making and eventually making alterations so that the car works. In the end I believe that without jihoons final alterations we would not have succeeded in our project. I ended up providing more of a supporting role with some alterations made of my own.

What did you learn about working in a group from this project that you will carry into your next group experience?

I learned that the communication levels we employed were very helpful. I also learned that if you preplan what each partner is doing at the beginning then there are less issues down the line. Finally, I learned that when tensions run high you may need to make alterations to how you are working together to make sure the task is completed to the best of your abilities.
