#1
Safety Officer - Our safety officer doesn't get any respect. Just look at the helmet he has to wear! It has a hammer lodged in it!
The more he tries to do his job and enforce safety the more people try to rebel against him. Thankfully our mentors have started supporting the safety officer - so hopefully his job will be more valued next year.

The person who makes the 'Parts List' - This is the person who has to catalog all the parts used on the robot into a list which can be presented to the inspectors. Not only is it the most boring, grueling, time consuming job, but the inspectors often forget to ask for it! Since it has no real value to the team, this list is often completely worthless. Not to mention the fact that there are plenty of robots over $2000 that pass inspection...

Battery Charger - I don't know about other teams, but the battery charger is one of
the most valued jobs on Team 100. Charging batteries can either make or break you. Our old battery charger once failed to strap the battery in during
two consecutive matches! Causing it to fall out both times
Lets just say his career was over... Our new battery person is amazing. She has never once failed to replace
both batteries on the robot with fresh ones.
My job is really
over-valued
Operating the arm is really easy...
