Build Season Structure

Hi all!

We are a second year team (Girls of Steel, Team 3504) and we grew from about 20 members to about 60 members now, so we had to revamp a lot of our organizational structure. We've already set in stone a board of "managers," on both student and mentor level, and we created a handbook with expectations on all levels of the team.

Right now, though, we are working on establishing a build season schedule and organization of sorts. We are asking ourselves questions like:
-Do we want to build two robots?
-How often do we meet?
-Do we have two sessions each night, where girls can choose which they attend?
-How many days/hours do we use to strategize and design? How many to protoype? How many to build? How many to practice?

I would love to hear about other team's overall structure, either vaguely or with detail. So please post back if you have any ideas, new or old!

Thanks!
