Too large of a team?

[Kims Robot]

The one thing I havent exactly heard here is starting a business team. We are going to have a business team that will take care of budgeting, watching over the fundraising, establishing & maintaining our handbook, student database (to record requirements fulfillment), a team newsletter, travel organization, and hopefully we are going to do a bunch of presentations & panels for the school that cover a range of business topics & things they will need for college.

We are doing an application this year, mostly just to collect needed info, as well as figure out what the students are interested so we can better get them involved. If the numbers get huge someday, it might be used to weed out, but only if we are out of resources to support it.

Other than that I will just quick list all the Subteam activities we have (some of them get lumped together since we are still a small team):
Mechanical, Fabrication, Electrical, Pneumatics, Programming, Webpage, Photo/Video, Spirit/Logo, Marketing, Awards, Community Service, Animation, Strategy/Drive/Rules, Business, Fundraising & Team Leadership.

I also like the idea mentioned here to take a look at all of the awards FIRST gives... not so much to win the awards, but just to get ideas of what your team could do for extra tasks. Take a look at the structure of some of the chairmans teams as well, you will likely get some ideas on more things you can do.

Good luck!
