Re: Politics in Robotics, Need Help

The captains on our team are nominated by the team, including input from adults, then voted on by the members. Under the revised bylaws, it is under the understanding that the captains will make certain, department-specific decisions for the team (i.e. we aren't going to have a general team meeting on what to do at the team meetings; that is silly) and will, in collaboration with the build mentors and appointed students, will make a core design team. The designs for the robot will be finalized like officers. Designs are presented at meetings for feedback, then nominated to the core designers group, then voted on by the group for the team to implement. This avoids wishy-washy decision making that has plagued us in the past.

Do you have a set of by-laws they are supposed to follow? What kinds of decisions are they making?
