That has always been one of my major concerns with having a large group programming. There is only so much to do and, while you can delegate tasks, sometimes there just isn't enough to go around.

This year, we had around 5 or 6 kids sign up for programming. We have been teaching them some basic stuff and we're hoping that we'll have a few good kids to help us out this year. For now, the other programmer (Calhounian) and I are going to probably be the only ones dealing with the CMU Cam and delegating the other things, such as autonomous and encoders and such to the new guys (with our help and guidance, of course).

We're hoping it works out.
