Its odd how many times people need information, and its great to be the one that has the answer, like the earlier battery man example. Keeping up on things here on CD is another job you might take up... I'm kinda describing my own job, I think. What I'm trying to say is that there are a lot of opportunities, techinical and not, when you're doing something as complicated as this competition.

That's a neat job and would definitely help your team. Since you said there's only 4-7 people on the team, why don't you start recruiting other members? Grab some people out of the comp sci class, see who's really ahead in math, who loves physics, get people from DECA and Student Council to help you with the business and PR end of the team. There are so many awesome people you meet through FIRST. There's always someone to supply you with the supportive can-do and don't give up attitude; why would you want to leave?
Keep your chin up, kid; you're probably more valuable than you realize
