2169 is currently going through a large restructuring of leadership roles. Our team has undergone multiple restructurings over the last four years, but the current one will be the biggest, at least from a student standpoint rather than a mentor/coach one.

For the last two years, however, we kept a similar leadership structure of:
3 captains (seniors, ideally from different department backgrounds)
3 Mechanical heads
1 Electrical head
1-2 Programming head(s)
1 CAD head
1 Strategy head
1 Business/Marketing head
1 Chairmans head
1 PR head
1 Media head
1 Spirit head
(Occasionally one person would fulfill multiple positions)

However, with the closing of the 2016 season, we added four new captain roles (the original three captain roles being renamed as FRC Captains) to more thoroughly oversee the programs we run and mentor in our school district:
Jr FLL Captain
FLL Captain
VEX Captain (our Middle School in-house program)
FTC Captain

The head positions for next year have yet to be determined by our mentors and captains, and the application for such positions were opened up to student input on new ideas for positions that could help further the goals of our team, so more new positions may very well be added soon.

This structure has generally been successful, but we're always looking for new skillsets people bring to the table and how they can be used in our team, and if necessary, make them a department to focus on a skillset we deem important to the team.

We have around 40 kids in FRC, but around 80 in Prior Lake High School robotics (FTC is treated as somewhat of a JV program), and our FTC kids are given opportunities to be trained in on FRC departments later in the school year and during the summer.
