Relationship Between Technical and Non-Technical Groups

But largely we have people that do a little bit of both. During the build season most of the team starts doing robot work and after championship there is a lot more non-technical projects and outreach things to get done before next year's kickoff.

I'm curious how you manage to let people participate in both but still drill-down and build skills and interest?

For example, a freshman student is participating in both technical and non-technical activities. How do you balance which activities take priority? Is it entirely up to the team member or is it more team driven?
