In our team, we have a team leader, who basically stands up at meetings and tells us what needs to get done. After that, we break off into our subgroups. Subgroups during the build season are the Engineering team-builds robot, the Chairmans team-chairmans submission and tv program, and the Animation team-does the animation. During the competition season, the subgroups mix members up a bit more, and we have the Drive Team-drives the robot, the Pit Crew-fixes the robot, the Scouting team-scouts other teams w/ these wonderful scouting sheets (thanks Ursula) and the PR team-button collectors and miscellaneous other promo stuff. For a small team, i would say that the best idea would to get one mentor who is in charge but doesnt think that he/she is the only one w/ right ideas (aka, open to all ideas and suggestions, more of a peer but w/ slightly more say) and then divide off into the smaller groups. Make sure that u have enough ppl to take care of the robot, and from there, go into the other groups. A drive team is also an essential.
