I am a mentor and alumni of Team Stealth (#1802) based in Kansas City, KS out of Piper High School. Normally we have right about 20 students but we (happily) expanded to 40 students for this season. Currently 12 of these are female which is 3 times more than we normally have. Our rookie year was in 2006 to help out a student who could not take AP Physics(not enough people interested in the class).
We've had our fair share of issues as a team but come out better and better every year. We have had 4 coaches, mentor changes (due to personal issues with other mentors) and 5 home changes in our almost 6 years. As a mentor, I am feeling very confident in our team this year and we hope to be able to take then entire team to STL this year. Last year we just took a student because we were in the running for the website award.
