Our rookie team this year was organized by our teacher-mentor and although we successfully created a working robot, it was not a student-based team, in my opinion. It's true that dire times called for dire measures and he had to step in to help run the team. He divided our team very structurally creating so many different sub-levels, which I don't think worked 100% effectively.
Hopefully next year, our team will strive to be more student-run and will be able to take 100% responsibility for our robot and its performance

I'm trying to search around on different structures for a team. This topic is really helping thanks ^^.
