Well, all of them are useful to some extent. Obviously with 60 people, sometimes there are just too many that end up doing nothing. It's not so much that they're lazy (we don't allow them to be lazy for any significant amount of time), it's just that there's only so much to do.
Our mentors have made a great effort to divide up jobs though. We've got subteams for Pit/Fabrication, Software, Electrical, Intel, Website, Animation, Awards, Spirit, Photography... I'm sure I'm missing some, but you get the idea. We're pretty organized, and I think we've made ourselves about as efficient as we can be with so many people.
As for traveling, the students have to pass three tests in order to travel: one on the history on our team and of FIRST, one on the rules of this year's game, and one about this year's robot. Our grades are checked before regionals and nationals... we all have to keep a 2.5 cumulative GPA without D's in any of our classes.
Yup, I think I've covered it all.
