Team Contests?

I think it could be a good instance for people to know each other better while spending time developing a project. I would expect a team to be able to accomplish more than single individuals too.

Would anyone find a team competition interesting?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks dougw!

We'll likely need to do a pilot of some sort to see if it works. Community is great about letting us try things to see if it works.   If we can make this happen would be interested in insight from any of the members on how to make this work.

Correction made. See a lot of options think would be cool to see people working on.   Lots to figure and open to everyone's thoughts!

To encourage maximum participation and inspire the most ambitious projects, it would be desirable to allow teams to pick their favorite MCU.

It's still up for discussion on how to implement it. Most likely sometime early next year, if we can put a solid plan together we'll simply replace one of the monthly competitions with a team competition. That is the most likely scenario. In the meantime, any ideas are welcome. What we'll do is pore through your comments and try to implement something that makes sense and try to avoid any pitfalls that may have occurred when we've tried this in the past.

What were those pitfalls? What was the name of the competition at that time?
