Each team has its own organizational structure and their own reasoning for having such an organizational structure. Typically factors that influence the organizational structure of teams include scholastic affiliations, financial situations, and the preferences of the most experienced or influential people from the team.

Decisions have to be made by FRC teams. It is often best that they get decided in an efficient manner, even in some cases to the extent of a less effective decision. While this is not ideal, it can be a reason for a particular person making decisions on behalf of the team that are less than popular.

To clarify, are you asking about team decisions in general or about robot/competition decisions specifically? This distinction may mean different answers for respondents to the OP.
