Re: Your Team's Hierarchal Structure & Methods of Organization
 

Our team doesn't really have one student that is the overall captain, we have a committee structure that works very well for us. Each committee has a chairperson and when we have meetings we split into our groups after a general meeting. Occasionally, we have meetings for only our committee heads and mentors (sometimes not even mentors) to make decisions for our team. Committee heads are also encouraged to run their own meetings in school, at the library or where ever it need be. Our team coach picks who is in charge of what and then we take charge of our little piece while communicating with the other committee chairs. Each chair is pretty much equal power. However, we have a large team, (over 50 members!) so we can delegate more.

Robotics doesn't really end for our team so we have what we call Year- Round Committees, Build Season Committees and Competition Structure.

Year-Round committees are like Web Dev, Digital Animation, Media etc. things that can always be worked on.

Build Season Committees are kind of obvious like Robot Design, Programming and Award Submissions.

Competition Structure is split into Technical (Pit Crew, Programmers, Drive Team) and Non-Technical (Scouting and Spirit).

Sorry about the long boring post! But if you would like specifics (yes, this is very general) PM me and I'll be glad to let you know more!
