Re: Watcha Say?

Why not have the new school join your current team?

Rather than two teams competing for interest and resources, combine the two, retaining the experience, identity and resources of the old team, while giving it a boost and some new perspective and energy. Having multiple schools can help grow/strengthen the community involvement, keep the team going when one school has low student/faculty involvement, and reach and inspire many more students (the goal of FIRST, after all).

Starting a new team isn't a trivial task (Speaking from experience) and you definitely want to avoid doing it at the expense of an existing team.
