Re: The Struggles of Bigger Teams
As a member of a 50+ team, I can say the main issue you're going to run into is keeping everyone doing something productive for the team. While the major draw of being on a robotics teams is "OMG I GET TO BUILD A ROBOT", there is not nearly enough robot to go around for people to build.
As well, a less looked at issue is how to manage travel costs and logistics. Booking hotels for 60 high schoolers plus mentors, and getting them all to that hotel in the first place can be a major challenge.
