Re: Team organization

Our team divides into varios groups such as computers (website, animation, programming), Engineering (building the bot), Business/Fundraising (budget, hotel plans, etc.), Art/Spirit (shirts, signs, awards), and documentation (chairman's, rules stuff)

After we decide what each group incorporates, we go to everyone in the rom and they must sign up for at least one thing, many people having 2 or more. Then during meetings we often divide into these areas and people go where they feel they are most needed. This gives everyone something to do and lets new team mebers become involved instead of watching and not accomplishing anything. To make this easier to understand we have a business map that we sometimes use which highlights al of these areas in a diagram - I'll see if I can get a copy. Hope this helps.

-Steve
