Re: What does everyone do?
The key is finding out what the kids WANT to be doing. Not everyone is good at building robots, we all know that. But there are so many aspects of FIRST that it pretty much doesn't matter what you are good at.
This is actually something that the mentors on your team should be doing, but veteran students should feel to help out too. Either keep an eye on someone to see what they are good at or just come out and ask them. Everyone is good at something. If there is someone who hates robots but loves to shoot video, have him make a video montage for the year. If someone has 8 years of carpentry experience, tell them to get cracking on the crate.
When it comes right down to it there are so many things to do that everyone should always have a job. Ask your teacher or engineers how much paperwork and scheduling they have to behind the scenes and you will be amazed. Maybe you should help them with that.
