Gope is on a distinguished road
We split things up very well.

There are some kids that work on compliance, all they do is make sure the robot complies with rules and know how the robot functions very well. They don't touch the roboto much, just work with alot of CAD drawings and things like that.

There are kids who work on building the robot, they machine stuff and put it together.

There are kids who mainly do electronics. They don't touch the robot much, except when tweaking control algorithms and figuring out where all their speed controlers r gona fit(our electical team gets the left over realestate).

There are kids who work on chairmans award. They spend most of their time compiling media and contacting the community. They explain FIRST to the community and work on publicity and on chairmans(they spent alot of time this year at local elementary schools teaching younger kids and getting them excited about FIRST Lego)

Then there are a few scragler kids who switch between groups.

This organization system coupled with a "this group gets the robot at this time" schedule, gives us only a few hands on the robot at the same time and it works out great.
