One day a student team member asked - where can I learn more?

All I could say was 'the internet.' A better answer may have been 'wikipedia',
But the skill of finding the right information is a skill like any other, and
it is unfair to the novice to give advice you would to an expert.

This is a place - to put links and information, 
to find "more" about everything that is Sonic Howl.

I hope you will join me here.

On Titles

• Titles can seem on the surface to be a formal & stuffy thing.
• Titles can be very useful to remind oneself what their part of the puzzle is
• Well defined titles can be very useful in stressful situations to know what you should be doing
  • E.G. Our fire plan names specific people to do specific tasks (weather people know them is a different story...)
• Stuffy titles can make a group seem more hirarchacial than it should sometimes.
• Silly titles can hurt being taken seriously by sponsors or media
• Wikipedia has a fantastic (in my humble opinion -KC) system for this
  • Each "Service Award" as a wikipeda editor comes with two titles, both of which are valid for a particular honour.
    • EG.
      • Experienced Editor / Grognard Mirabilaire
      • Master Editor / Illustrious Looshpah
  • I think this is the perfect ratio of silly:technical for FRC.
    • EG.
      • Shop Foreperson / Grand Poobah
      • Master of Ceremonies / Most Stupendous Leader
      • Technical Supervisor / Head ofTechnical Wizardry
