Are there sub-teams and how are they organized?
Are there specific leaders of each sub-team?
This year our Captains were ***es, we kept them there because we didn't want mid-season collapse. It was apparent who took their place (The team recognizes them as Captains)

Next year we'll do this:
3 Captains: PR, Build and Team (Discussed later)
Captains oversee divisons and leads
There is 1 Team lead, and 1 Team co-lead (per division)
Leads decisions can be overthrown by a Capatin (if it falls under there division)
Leads can go to the team for a vote if they don't like Captains choice(s)
Mentors count as 1 vote, however they're choice of what to build counts as 0 when picking what robot to build (Start of season)
Weekly voting meetings start at 5:00, regular start at 6:00PM
3 days a week (before build season to letter)
4 days a week (start build season to letter)
PR Captain-Manages community involvement and leads meeting if Team Capt. is gone: Oversees PR, Marketing and Operations
Team Captain-Leads meeting, has more "authority" in tie breaker votes: Oversees-Animation, Inventor, Field Design, Programming* and Website
*Because of stress on Build Captain
Build Captain-Involved in Robot Construction and robot progress: Oversees Robot Design, Construction/build team, pneumatics and Machining

Animation-Makes animation and images for community
Website-Create/update website for community
Operations-Training of newer members and "utility" crew when others are absent (Up-to-date on all divisions, "fillers")
PR-Sends groups to community meetings (rotary/business conferences)
Marketing-Makes phone calls, sends PR to meets
Inventor-Robot design on computer
Field Design-Creates field for robot trial and "errand" people
Machining-Makes parts for robot
Build Team-robot assembly
Pneumatics-parts assembly
programming- makes sure robot can work/move
