Re: What does everyone do?
My team is doing this as a class project (AP Physics C), subsequently fewer people are very motivated to do work. Another bad effect of this is that we only 1 person that is not a senior, so the likelyhood of our team continuing next year is slim, on top of that our school is getting massive renovations starting this summer, so our shop and work areas will not be available for a couple years.
With only 13 people, we are hard pressed to find jobs for everyone that they could do then again we didn't do any of the extra compititions except the animation. So in the end it was 3 or 4 students doing 80% of the work (construction, paperwork management, funding, programming). One issue we seem to find is, with more than 2 or 3 people working on the actual robot just slows the process down because people start tripping over each other. Building a mock up field is a good way to get everyone involved tho, many people can build the parts seperately, and come together for assembly.
