CAD/DESIGN: decide how to build the robot, once the team decides on a strategy, we design the robot, and are responsible for ordering parts, and overseeing the construction, we do some work, mainly with the CnC mill.

Shop: People who build parts, the head shop man is in charge of making difficult to machine parts, as well as overseeing the assembly of the robot.

Electronics/Programing: The electronics people and the programmers work hard to get the prototype running, as well as to make sure all of the electronics work before the actual robot is built.

Chairman's: there are 2-4 top chairman's people who all work nearly exclusivity on chairman's.

Other people: the other people on the team do whatever is needed, wherever it is needed.

our team does not really require much leadership, as there are only about 15 people who are extremely devout to the club, the captain is responsible for making sure people are on task and working, as well as organizing events. the Design people, are basically in charge of making the robot run, they oversee the shop people and work with them.

usually some of the senior team members are a part of more than one thing, in our team, there are 5 people who work on a lot of different stuff to organize the construction of the robot.

Wow. That sounds exactly like our team! We have two captains this year... but the number of captains changes about every year.
