i started our team in 1999 and we have learned as the years go by. we usually have a group of about 40 - 55 students that want to be on the team and i agree that finding tasks or jobs for all to feel involved is sometimes challenging as a mentor. as previously mentioned we have a number of groups.

chairman's award
spirit team
animation
web page
driver/human player
field construction
base design
control system
electrical system
arm/manipulator design
project management
scouting
lego league

while everyone cannot be directly involved in the building of the robot every other aspect of the team is needed. to ensure that all of these areas are covered we have a minimum number of hours that students must complete in order to attend specific competitions. through school presentations and word of mouth, students that are not interested in building a robot come forward.

let me know if you want any further specifics.
