LIke others, our system of govrnment changes a little year to year. A lot of people consider us a young team. We are going into our 5th year next year.
Our team is setup like this:
We have 3 lead mentors on our side of things (not including FRC mentors from the Students at Georgia Tech and Jeremy Roberts)
Below our 3 mentors is our executive board. We have a CEO (me), a Chief Information Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, and an Exectuive Secretary. Now these are all fancy terms for PResident, VP, Treasurer, and Secretary.
We divide ourselves into subgroups based on questionaires that are filled out in the beginning of the year in which we ask people what type of experience they have and wht teams they want to be on.
Our teams:
FRC Build- Builds the FRC bot
FVC Build -Builds the VEX bot
FLL Mentor Team -Mentors a lot of FLL teams and helps hold Georgia subrrgionals
BEST Robotics Build Team -Builds the BEST Robot
Scouting Team - Scouts and develops scouting sheets
Personal Relations Team -Plans Outreacha events and tries to get our name out in the community
Fundrasising Team - helps plan fundraising events
Tech Team - design t shirt, create scouting DB, CAD, website etc.
Maintenance Team - Helps keep the robots that we have still working
Coomunication Team - gets info out to everyone int eh club and works with the PR team on publications about us

PRetty much, most major descisions dealing with the club come from teh Executive board and the Sponsors. We work very well together and usually have the same ideas so there aren't any problems. If there si somethign we don't agree upon, we usually talk about it and analyz all the pros and cons and then find a compromise or someone's mind gets changed. An example would be something like deciding upon the requirements to travel, systems for scouting, creating new teams, etc.
We are given A LOT of free roam to try and pursue ideas that we want to try out. For instance, I asked my mentor Mr. Rosen abot whether or not w could try and run a camp. He told me to come up witht ehcurriculum schedule, and plan on how to publicize and we will analyze whether or not we can pursue it further. Higher up execs and leaders can organize outreach evnts and just let the mentors know what is going on and show them what we are going to do and how we are transporting bots and stuff there and they will just say ok and make sure it doesn't conflict with an other events we have going on.

On the FRC side of things we come to the design phase as equals and all try and design and analyze pros and cons of different ideas together. The final say ont he design this year came from us all finally agreeing on our final design and then going out to pursue it. Our student team leader usually has the final say on who works on what.
When it comes to descions during build such as if something doesn't seem to be working out, (like our 3 original shooters), it usually is up to our lead FRC mentor from the Georgia Tech side to make a design change. All design changes go through him. He is the project manager for the robot.
I hope this helped maybe it didn't. I have A TON of documents on our team structure and our constitution. If you want to take a look at any of this, just PM me and let me know.
I really like the setup of team 234's team. They won the entreprenuership award this year at Nationals. Congrats team 234.
