Rarely at work do I get a chance to participate at the engineering level with members of my organization. For the last four days, I have enjoyed working with the team pictured above to develop a new product concept at the request of one of the General Managers at iRobot. I am not at liberty to reveal the idea, but I can say that the group, with significant contributions from every single member, produced a design that we are all quite pleased with. Each member contributed their own time to the special project and many will labor through the weekend to finalize a working prototype. I treated the team to lunch at the Macaroni Grill to celebrate the highly successful design sprint.
