[NoQuestions]

I was the president of my team for a while. Though it varied year to year, the main duties were mainly non-technical things.

For example, I sent emails, made sure everyone knew when/where the meetings were, made sure that everyone was getting along fine and didn't have any issues with anyone else (and thus ensuring as few 'bumps' during build season/regionals/meetings as I could), and lead the 'business' portion of the meetings (as in, going down a list of things and asking the appropriate people to talk about that stuff when needed). I was also the person that people who were interested in robotics were told to ask any questions to and such.

For a while we didn't really have a specific list of what the president did (we were a new team my freshman year, then when we started being not-new and organizing stuff we merged with another team so that was kind of a shakeup), so it's kind of hard for me to tell where my duties ended and where my habit of being a 'peacemaker' started. Other students who have held the position of president say that they pretty much just lead meetings and little else.

We also have a 'Vice-President' position, but it's mainly in case something happens with the president from what I've seen. Some years we hold separate elections for 'President' and 'Vice-President', other years VP is just the person who got the second most votes for President.
