77 new teams?
I have been gone awhile but i always look in this time of year. I just saw this - http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/01/...-state-in-u-s/ - It speaks of 77 new teams in michigan. Is this article right. How did this happen? I hope it is not a one time start-up thing. The only thing worse then not taking part in FRC would be told you can't do it next year.

Re: 77 new teams?
FIRST in Michigan has been remarkably good at promoting the start of new teams. This year they contacted local teams to ask to help mentor those news teams - we've been in touch with a number of the new teams around us to help.
As always, the real trick is not starting a FIRST team. That part is easy. The hard part is long-time retention. Even well-known teams fail. FIRST is a very difficult endeavor over the long term unless you've been very lucky in terms of sponsorship. |

What data source are you using? I'm seeing about 85 MI rookies using the old search tool here. |
Re: 77 new teams?
That entry still lists 55 rookies.
Rookie team numbers start at 4900. |
