Re: School Size vs. Team Size
 

Our school is one of the more smaller rural schools in HI, roughly 1 to 1 1/2 hours away from Honolulu, depending on traffic.
We are grades 7-12 with just under 600 students.
Its VERY difficult to get kids into our STEM/robotics program, but we manage to get about 25 kids/year. Being in a plantation community, most of the general population students love computer classes since most of them are technology starved at home with no internet access. Seriously.

We always get students every year who's first time on a plane is for a mainland robotics trip.:ahh:

I believe there are at least 2 students not yet registered that plan on joining and the team is hoping to gain a few more after a man-versus-machine pullup challenge with our Breakaway bot at a school function tomorrow.

Re: School Size vs. Team Size
 

I completely understand where you are coming from. I agree that it is not healthy to make your team more like other teams based on what is, "Most common," or even compare your team to other teams.

The only reason I created this thread was to see the diversity in the FIRST community. It was not to compare our team to other teams, it was really just to see what was out there, because I literally had no idea what was really out there.

Thank you very much for your concern, and we will be sure to use this information more for extending our knowledge of FIRST rather than the betterment of our own team.

Re: School Size vs. Team Size
 

Wow! What a great information base! Thanks to everyone who responded to this thread. These are some very interesting and varying statistics. If I ever find the time (:rolleyes: ) I might create some kind of chart that will make all of these numbers more visual. I am thinking of some type of demographics table or map of FIRST.

Any input would be great!
