I'd also be concerned about stretching the resources available too thin. In 2011, we were struggling to come up with the money to go to Championships after winning in Virginia. Our board of education stepped in and paid for our registration. Imagine if there were two FRC teams (one at the middle school and another at the high school). I just think there would be a constant competition for sponsors, even if they went in together and agreed to split the contributions.

Wouldn't struggling for sponsors be a huge concern in areas with 2 High school FRC teams too? Thats one of my biggest concerns about getting Funds when 2 or more teams are in the Windsor - Essex area. but then again there are a ton of manufacturing plants, and a lot of factories (right across from Detroit).
