Re: How to organize our team? (By dividing it into sub-teams)
Depends on the size of your team really. Coming from a Rush Alum, their org scheme works well if you have a large team. If you have a small team like 397 we didn't break into subteams. If you had a free hand you were fair game. I think this really pushed our students (and mentors) outside their comfort zones. At one point we had a student whose specialty was programming and myself (same specialty) removing the transmissions from our robot.

My point is, sub teams are great, if you have the numbers of students to make it work. But I should add a warning, students don't always know what they want to do. Their first year they should not be locked down to one subteam, they should probably float around to others.
