What does your team call its "leader"?

What does your team call its student head? Just curious.
We have used captain for all up until this year, where we now have a "commodore". She's also occasionally referred to a Czar, or Czarina. And of course, we call her captain as well.

We have two student leads, but right now we're in the process of re-structuring our team, so maybe I can suggest Comodore, it sounds pretty sweet..

[Conor Ryan]

we currently like the idea of Capitano, but i'm pushing for Kingpin, Skipper, Honcho, Overlord, or "Hey You with the Face". You can have a lot of fun with this

[Freddy Schurr]

Our team has a captain and a co-captain but with renovation of 204, who knows what going to happen next year.

[spears312]

Last year we had 'Major Tom', this coming year it should end up being 'King Heatwave'.

w00t, post 100 (after over 1 year)

This past year, we restructured and made the leader the Executive Director. But he ended up not doing much so we are dropping the job, divereting all leadership to the Vice Presidents. But the Board of Directors (aka mentors) have surpreem power and can over rule if they want. Maybe we should call the VPs the Triumverant (sp?), or quad-umverant...?

It's officially the office of the President, but I prefer to be called Il Duce or Supreme Dictator. Either will suffice.

I have NEVER called him that! It's "Hey you!!"

[Meyerman]

El Presidente of coarse!hence the sombrero team 56 had at competitions this year. anything else would just be silly

[Denman]

i call myself vice captain, but we call the main leader El Presidente....

[Jeff Waegelin]

We call our student leader the Captain. Prior to this season, our leader was the President, but we decided that "President" was more befitting of a club, while a team should have a "Captain". So, when we held elections for this year's officers, he became known as the Captain.

He also goes by "The Human Playa"... but that's a whole different story...

[Joe J.]

Our team leader is our President other officer positions include Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Though in the past the President has done most of the work for all 4 positions, but now our mentors are going to start making sure officers do their own jobs. We have other leadership positions which include Pit Chief ( In charge of build and pit area organization), LEGO Overlord, Scouting Queen, and the Godfather. We also have sectional team leaders (electrical, mechanical, programming, website, animation, Awards(Chairman's and Woodie Flowers).

No, but seriously we really don't have one lead person. Somehow the team kinda just meshes together in an odd system of checks and balances. Of course, there are a few people that are more of a leader to a team than others.

Same way my team is.. We have selected subteam captains.. They really became pointless, because some teams only had 1-2 kids and didn't really need a captain or anything, or like our construction team had 2 students really stand out do most of the major work on the robot, and because the captain wasnt one of those two students he really didn't know what to say during the captain/advisor meetings every week.. We had no 1 leader except at the compeitions we had the team captain (me) and head inspection student, and we were really just given titles to sign the inspection papers and that was it.

"I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more..."

No, seriously, that's about it. We don't have a major power structure, we just all pretty much work and then at the final inspection whoever happened to be talking with the inspector just signs off as captain.
