can you have two FIRST teams in one school?
 
Can you start another FIRST team in the same school? I ask this because our current team is no longer a club, but is part of another program(which has requirements that I think excludes students from FIRST) . I would like to start another FIRST team but as a robotics club, I would like to keep it this way so every student to have an equal chance of joining.
any suggestions or ideas you can share with me???

do you have to have a minimum number of students to start the other team?

It's certainly allowed. There's questions though -
  • Will your new team be welcomed by the school administration?
  • Do you have mentor support?
  • Do you have financial support?
  • Will there be hard feelings between the two teams?

Re: can you have two FIRST teams in one school?
 
Here's my perspective on these 4 questions:

Will your new team be welcomed by the school administration?
More than you could ever imagine.

Do you have mentor support?
We share two mentors, but the girls have a separate advisor and seperate mentors.

Do you have financial support?
Yes, but it takes that much more work to fundraise. Each team is now in a competition to bring in the most money and do the most community outreach.

Will there be hard feelings between the two teams?
Not at all (unless one's on red and the other is on blue for a match). It's like one giant family really.

We're in our second season of 2 teams/1 school and couldn't be happier. If you have any questions or need help setting up the second team, feel free to PM me.

Aewsome! Thanks for the offer, because we are seriously considering breaking off and forming a new team.Just one question..

Most people who know team 647 know us for our military image,

with a new number, what will people recognize us as?

It could be the Brigade, the Unit, the Force....etc.

Or, you could be the Cyber (other animal) Corps.

Being an Alumni of 340 and 424, I can say that having two teams is a great idea for a school! Please visit their website here for information on the two teams. Click the links on the left hand side for information on these teams.
