Number of students involved does not make a powerhouse. I don't think 330 has had more than about 10 since 2003, and more than 15 since 2002.

In that timespan, we've won a lot of events, including 2 IRIs, 2 Championship Divisions (and one Championship), and a number of regionals. Not to mention being finalists/in the eliminations as a high pick (or picker) quite a bit.

A "powerhouse" is a team that is expected to do well, or has the capacity to do well on a moments' notice. A team that can take advantage of an opponent's mistake and score a lot of points. A team that is always performing at a high level, regardless of number of members and budget. A team that is never satisfied with what they're doing and always looking to improve. That is what makes a powerhouse team. Not budget. Not number of members. Not availability of sponsors and materials.

It's the attitude and drive of a team that make them a powerhouse.
