Create a team structure that will allow for efficient and effective design of the robot. Once your team is organized, you really will see significant improvements in work efficiency.
Do this before build starts and use a mock project to test your team structure. Have a group of students or mentors create a task for the team to accomplish and within a certain time constraint (similar to those of FIRST). This will allow you to see if the team structure is right for you or if it needs to be modified.
Good luck everyone! So can't wait.
EDIT: If people can add more onto this please do, I'm not too great at explaining team organization. Thanks.
