Responsibilties of a Captain
This is a follow-up to my previous thread, "Responsibilities of a Mentor."

Most teams have a student captain or captains. They may go by the title of President, Captain, or Leader, but they are all functionally similar. What I want to know is this:

What do you think are the responsibilities of the student captain of a team? Is this captain responsible for initiating contact with sponsors? Planning events? Coordinating robot construction? Ordering supplies? Maintaining discipline? Communication to the team?

What are the responsibilities and privileges of captains on other teams? Does your team have a handbook or training for student leadership?
