Re: Programming Team Size

One person.

Really.

In the offseason there should be multiple people learning the ropes, and all members of the team should of course understand how the other subsystems work (doubly so for programming), but the robot code is rarely complicated enough to allow for any reasonable task division.

The only case where I'd consider more than one would be if you had a co-processor for some specialized function that required a lot of code.
