Am I the only person with this job?

Our team has a newsletter called, "The Wo-Bot Wire." That we're supposed to get every other day but we get it more like every other week. The ones who do the newsletter goof off more than work and they enjoy bugging the build team at the more crucial moments.

whoo... a newsletter would be nice. we get e-mails sent out by our coach, thats about the closest thing. last year i'm not sure what i was... i worked on Chairmans Award and helped out with the robot and took some pictures and made our trading cards and helped out with spirit.. i even wired the prototype! so i kinda got a taste for everything, and i didnt really have a set "job"... although i wouldnt mind doing a newsletter, thats kind of cool. i've already got too much on my plate this year though... ^^; chairmans almost killed me last year. try not to do everything at once. at least thats kind of an easy job, you know whats going on with the team at all times, and you write to tell other people about it. hurray for spreading the word of FIRST

Our team used to have an email newsletter written by the coach. Now that the season is in full swing and we meet alomst daily, writting one everyday would be pointless, so we used random news postings and updates on our websites MB and main page ( http://www.bedfordexpress.com ).

Cybersonics Technology Team 103 has been producing a newsletter, called Tech Talk, since 2000. Typically, members in the communications/pr/marketing department produce the newsletter. I have been the editor for the past two years, though I am now training a few of our new kids to do this task. The articles are written by numerous individuals in all of our departments, though primarily communications/pr/marketing kids write them. If you want to check out our newsletter, you can find them on our website: Tech Talk

While I have never been on a team with a newsletter I have had rather strange jobs on different teams. In high school I was what we called the "rule meister" if you weren't sure is something was legal or if you didn't quite understand something in the rules I was the person you came to for clarification. I also cooked dinner for my team at least twice a week. When I was on team 86 I kinda became a "what if" chic. Since I really didn't have the capability of explaining my ideas with a mathematical or physics basis I simply looked at other people's designs and said, "what if this happens?" It was VERY aggrivating for most of the team but it was the only way I could explain my ideas, though it was roundabout.

this is a really old thread. it has been revived several times. does anybody realize that the person who started this has now graduated and is not on a team anymore? besides, there is a category for that stuff now: communications. that was added last year. (actually, i was the one who asked brandon to add that )

Our team writes a weekly update for our county's newspaper. That is close to a newsletter.

We do indeed have a newsletter. A parent volunteer writes it, however. Included are mostly fund raising announcements and other things that need to be mentioned. Also included are spotlights of our mentors. Every newsletter one is interviewed, and placed in there along with a picture. Kind of like a, "Get to know your mentors" thing.

No, we do not have a Team Newsletter. We do have an email that we send out - with our accomplishments.

I suppose if I said I had a job it would end up being the guy with all the best ideas that everyone ignore. I think they need a steam from the ears smily or maby call it a steamy.
