In a perfect world you should have one lead mentor to oversee the wiring and at least two members doing the work. You need at least one lead member and then another to check the work. Try to create a system where you have a senior leading and a junior/sophomore as the secondary member.

And all of these people need to start the season knowing the capabilities of the components and also communicating with the strategy, programming, and CAD teams on a weekly basis.

On 4607 we do point to point drawings so that we can talk the other members through the process. Oh - an electrical engineer to look over your energy budget is key!
