What does your team call its "leader"?

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.

I guess we call our team leader - Captain.

Occasionally we call him Fearless Leader (the head bad guy from Rocky and Bulwinkle)

They call me "wangster".

Team 836's top leadership is the president, which for the 2005 season was me but since i will be a mentor next year I can no longer fill that position, and when school starts again or even before that the leadership new and old will elect a new president. Under the president we have the team manager, and from there on we have vice presidents or captains for each sub team. This system worked for us last year and we hope it will work out for years to come.

well, thats what it was at the beginning of this year, then the team just kind of melded into one without an "official" captain or leader.

We just call her Mrs. O........short for Mrs. Orzechowski lol

We elect a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer each year, and then our elected officers get together and decide on who to appoint as subteam leaders (programming subteam, electronics subteams, etc). The president and vp run the meetings, and basically oversee all the work that's going on, while the subteams leaders are in charge of whatever is specific to their team. Our team is very student-run, and the system we have works pretty well to keep some semblance of order during build.

Our official leader of the whole club is simply the President, though he has been known as El Presidente. As for leads in specific teams, I became Mr. Autonomous for my lead in the autonomous programming last year. We also have our Chancellor of War who makes sure all those not working are not working properly, and throws in as many suggestions for equipping next year's robot with death rays as possible.

President and Vice President. I was dubbed the "Business Coordinator" back last season in '04, so I guess I'm Secretary-ish. I don't know.
But we've always dubbed our leaders Prez and VPrez. =D

Our team calls me the Team Lead because I oversee everyone, of course that seems like a big job until you take a look at our roster which has 8 names on it 7 students and 1 adult including myself. 3 of the student members are leaving this year though, which will make us a team of 5

[ClintDog]

We call Mr. Tenbrink MR.T, "he pitties the fool"!!!!

[russell]

The last one was the "Fearless Leader" or FL.....
He just graduated and I'm replacing him. Gotta decide what to go with now. I actually kinda like Commodore. Maybe Commander, or Admiral or something.

[tiffany34990]

we just have student captains...the offical team leader is an adult who handles mostly the paperwork and all that fun stuff

then there are the student heads that are in charge of certain projects...

nothing really cool with names but all wellz maybe that'll change now i'm off the team..

[KORN_lover_2007]

Our team has what we call project managers. We have one head project manager and two others, so they as a group lead us. I mean, one person couldn't be at three places at once, so there couldn't be just one. But they can also check each other.
