Re: What do your programmer's do (besides the robot)
This year we're requiring all of our programmers (and all of our controls people, and all of our mechanical people) to take a job on the business side of the house as well. "Business" includes just about everything that doesn't relate to the robot build, including Chairman's submission, outreach, web/social media, fund raising, scouting/match strategy (though not build strategy), spirit, safety, and probably a few more things I can't think of right now. The concept is to have separate meetings for "business" vs "technical". During the "off season", there should be a business vs technical breakdown approaching 1:1. During build season, this will probably be more like 5:1, or perhaps even worse.
