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.
See "Moe University". They have pictures of their latest trick, the Rube Goldberg machine, in CD-Media. I believe that there are also pictures of older projects.

You could also use an old FRC game and get concepts flowing.
