Re: Role of Team Captain

The Team Captain, or "President" on our team, has generally been the driver of the robot, at least for the years that i have been involved.
There are a few reasons for this, and it's not because we gave it to them.
1. our team was so small, as to where, the driver needed to be as experienced with the robot as possible.
2. the President has spent the most amount of time with and around the robot.

as for the roles of our President, the main goal is to be the "Face" of the team. Just to basically represent the team at all times, which also includes running meetings, giving presentations to prospective sponsors, etc.

one thing i would like to note, is that we always have our lead programmer on the drive team, not just to run the drive station, but they also usually have the best understanding of how to fix it if there is a code error with the field or robot.
