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.

Normally we'd create sub-groups (drivetrain, mechanics, electronics, programming, etc...) which usually turn out ineffective, people limit themselves by their capabilities, which could be one reason why we have so many organization problems, because one person keeps jumping from one group to another, changing things around and so forth. Ideally, if you are going to have sub-groups, split them up into: mechanical, electrical, and programming, plus any other additional ones that you might want (like animation, chairmans).

Don't worry about it, FIRST all isn't about winning, there's much more to it. Our team has been around since 1995 and we don't always get an award every year.
