There still seems to be an emphasis on starting new teams, but many areas don't have the mentors and veteran support structure to insure their sustainability. While many teams work with rookies and younger teams in their area, perhaps more teams would get involved if it became one of Dean's homework assignments, or was encouraged through a similar avenue.
I've been a bit out of touch with things, so if FIRST has put out anything on this and I've missed it, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could point me in that direction.

Don't change who we are to appeal more to the outside world. Change the outside world around us and inspire them to join. I am very glad that FIRST has put a better balance on what is important.

This has been discussed to death in a number of threads. Let's move on and keep this one on topic: areas where things can be made even better for the 2013 season.
