Here are some updates of the detailed charts.
The overview charts are still pretty much the same-same as the detailed ones without the sub-bullets.
They are still changing every time I look at them, but see what I may still be missing. The follow ups to these charts have detailed descriptions of each position and why you'd want to know them.
I was also playing with a one-pager crib sheet of who's important to know at competition. I'd add the personal descriptions you all suggested here as well. I don't want to list everyone here, thereby obscuring the most important people.
Something along the line of the following.
(loves?/hates?/Gah, you can't be serious!/drivel?)
---------
Critical People to Know at your Event
- FIRST Technical Advisor (FTA)-Field/robot issues
- FTA Assistant (FTAA) - same reason
- Lead Robot Inspector-robot doesn’t work and you blame the mechanics/electrical/pneumatic system, inspection, construction rules compliance
- Head Referee-game rules compliance, Match calls (see immediately-not later)
- Control System Advisor-robot doesn’t work and you blame the control system/radio/FMS.
- Pit Administration Supervisor-team support & help, first aid, registration, shipping
- Lead Team Queuer- will hunt down your team if they don’t show up at the field on time
- Spare Parts staff - just because things break.
- Machine Shop staff - just because things break
People you will meet at least once
- Game Announcer-proper pronunciation of team/robot name
- Judge Advisor-Chairman’s presentation scheduling, judging issues
People you might never meet but have reason to know
- Regional Director- she’s (or he’s) the boss
- Event Manager – from where’s my banner? to why are we playing this music?, plus harassment/discrimination/abuse/crime/security threat
- Lead Safety Advisor-report unsafe conditions, smoke, fire, sparks, hazardous spill
- Venue Safety-smoke & fire response, Fire Marshal
- Volunteer Coordinator-team members/parents volunteering to help an event report to this person
Finally, I've attached volunteer descriptions of just the event volunteers teams are likely to meet or need.
These were extracted from the Regional Committee Planning Guide and shortened just a little.
