Re: Student Leadership

This year, we're a team of about 10-15 students (depending on what you would call a member). Our structure is

Leaders: Any student that takes guidance is a leader. There was no assigned "leader" this year (you don't need a title to be a leader)(my favorite quote).
Builders: Anyone that walks in the shop and ends up making something.
Programmers: the most defined group, they program.
Chairmans: Anyone (commonly 1 full time and 1 part time person) who is willing to work on Chairmans/Woodie Flowers/all submissions
Animation: More defined like programming, they animate.
Media: Got a camera? Are you taking pictures? You're media (but a specific two-three make a banquet video each year)

We decide strategy and basic robot design (function) as a team. We then have at least one kid working on CAD with mentors (we're rookie dominated this year, but we're training them to be FIRST buffs).

Mentors and Parents (this year) handle most of the funds and stuff. Outreach is student led but not a specific group. Because we're so small, there's a lot of overlap, and not too much distinction.
