This year I introduced a new team setup (new for us at least)
After kick-off we all met and set up a preliminary design.
Then I split the team up into divisions called PODS.
Why PODS? Mainly cause it sounded cool, but we later figured out it could stand for People On Different Systems...which is essentially what it was.
Each POD covered a different design system of the robot such as;
-Frame
-Objective
-Programming
-Electronics
etc.

We had each POD meet on a different day so as to work with people's schedules and to avoid huge numbers of people in the building

This worked alright but there must be one very vital item in place for this system to work...dedication.
Each POD must be able to complete their objectives effectively.
Otherwise you will end up with people having to work on 2 or 3 PODS to pick up the slack, or having to do most of the work yourself.

It is worth a try though...
