+- teamworks! 
+  - have a project manager 
+  - divide into sub-teams, but talk often 
+    - electronics / software
+    - mechanism
+    - documentation 
+    - cad/cam ? 
 - prototype in cardboard, mechanisms can move 'by hand'
+- commit to your vision (no backtracking)
+- spiral development !
+- document all the time, it should be one person's job !
+  - one page per team, 
+  - note individual contributions on your page
