we have about 25 members, but around 10 really "hard core" members

Re: # of team members
 

We started off with over 80 who signed up for the team. Once the membership fee of $20 came in, our team went down to 60 members. By the time January 10 came along, our team was down to 13 (those who went to the Ontario Science Centre to see the satellite feed for the kick-off). By the time we started building, our team was down to 6 to 8 people. Last week (during our school's march/winter break) we had a meeting regarding strategy and that was down to 2 (myself and our mentor). :(

We have about 20.

Getting 20 members is one thing...
Getting them to do somthing contructive is another...

There are too many members that just seem to fool around or are on the team because it is cool. Do any other teams out there have problems like that?

Re: # of team members
 

We have had a few problems getting people to do something constructive. It seems that a lot of the time half the members were taking gameboy breaks while the other half of the team worked.

We have that problem too...apparantly they found a chinese food place that delievers :rolleyes:

that happened to us, though not as drastically...we started with like 40-50 then it slowly trickled down each meeting

winter break was like 3 or 4 students each day plus the 3 engineers, some parents and a teacher :)
