Re: Team Structure

our team went though a restructure this year to solve the problem of people not working on things that are not their direct field, so we removed ALL fields, this can solve the issue of people wanting one one ""team" over another. our structure is:
2 co captins for marketing/fundraising
2 co captins for bot making (machinery programming and cad)
(vary few) specialists (basically teachers of catagorys like a cad teacher a programming teacher a marketing/t shirt design teacher)
(the rest of the people) generalists, can be told to market or make robots, if they don't know how a specialist will show them

the co captins job is to ensure that everyone is working, anyone can do most tasks, however there is the massive downside of training.

there is also a robot design team within all this but its complicated to explain, and not important to solve the problem at hand

this new system worked well for us, in your situation it would solve the issue of not needing to dedicate people to certain categories.
