In order to have the smoothest transition from working separately, we worked to be as proactive as possible and planned frequent check-ins and updates to give us the greatest chance of continually being on the same page regarding our OTV progress. As a part of working to keep everything organized, we set up multiple forms of communication to reduce any margin for error. We initially set up a group chat with the purpose of not only keeping the group in contact and get to know each other, but as the project started to keep everyone organized regarding timelines and what each group was able to complete each lab day.

Once the time came for us to bring everyone back together to build/assemble the OTV, we did not change much with our previous way of working. The only real major change that did throw of course a little was trying to allow seven people to work on different aspects of one OTV all at once. If we were to go back and time to make our subsystem integration smoother, we would stagger when each subsystem would work on the OTV to better prevent any group from getting in the way of anyone else.
