DON’T take a Zero!
• Test your structure• Does it stand/float/hold any weight?
• Something is better than nothing!• Remove parts of the structure if necessary
• Have a Plan B• What if this idea doesn’t work? Then what will we do?
• Identify when something’s not working• GOOD teamwork does not mean you can’t say something is a BAD idea!
