Re: How do you organize your team?

Exactly my thoughts!!

My team is having trouble getting organized too. since last year we were rookies there still arent many people on our team, and those who are on it are indeed interested in robotics. but we're not reali sure how to organize ourselves, and have an official leader or something. as of now we're split into 4 or 5 groups to work on programming, pneumatics, etc, so that we actually have some idea what we're doing during build period. the whole idea was to educate ourselves, and its been working out fine in our groups of 3 or 4. but when we go have a whole 'group meeting' everyone's suddenly, i guess, shy or something, and no one volunteers to do anything. i suppose when build period comes, they will, but what if they dont?

also how do the hierarchy of your teams go?
our rookie year last year, we never reali had anything, cept teachers, parents and alumni at the top obviously, and then we had one official student leader, and then everyone else underneath.

but not only is the job of leading us way too much for one student leader, our team has increased in size by about 50% (yay! we actually have members.. but what to do w/ em...) so how would you suggest our team be lead?

thanks!

<edit> also, last year we seeded 11th in our regional (SVR) and got ourselves into the semifinals as alliance leaders. then in the cal games, which WRRF hosts here, we placed 1st with our allies (who picked us). the returning members from last year (including me) are worried what will happen when we do do poorly. it will be quite the shock because we've just gotten reali lucky. </edit>

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!
