What does your team call its "leader"?

[dmurdz]

I guess we call our team leader - Captain.

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

[Yan Wang]

They call me "wangster".

[Andrew Blair]

Our leader is usually called some sort of random profanity or derogatory dubbing.

This year Mirza was our student team captain. I dont think we ever made an official title, as our leadership organization had a hard time getting off the ground (Mirza did a great job leading by example anyway!)

But back in high school, I earned the nickname "The General" and it stuck... my new team now calls me that as well, kinda goes with our army type theme anyway. Its kinda neat to have carried it all the way from HS to my mentoring position.

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.

[Dorienne]

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

[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).

Captain is my official title. However, most people just call me by my last name (Duch, pronounced Duke). We have one Co-Captain who is second-in-command. Then we have sub-team captains who lead their sub-team students. We also have people with specific duties (i.e. pr, fundraising).

I don't think the model would work for small teams, but for a team with 45+ students, specific roles and student leaders are very important.

I'll be captain again next season so maybe i'll have a new nickname. We'll see

[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..
