Role of Team Captain

[Emiller8]

Many of our team captains are not drivers. Team captains should not just be given any place they want on the drive train. Not that team captains should not be on the drive team, but the fact that they are a captains should not influence whether they are on the drive team or not. That process does not create the best drive team that you could have every time. The drivers should be decided on by one fact: who on the team is the best driver. This person does need to be dedicated, and active on the team.

Our team captain functions first and for most, as a leader ( I know that's obvious.) They run team meetings, are in charge of communication between our sub-team leaders. Their job on a general level is to organize and run the team so that we can produce a robot that plays the game well, and that all the students get as much out of the program as possible.
