I would also figure on a good-sized drop-off in attendance. 60-70 is probably going to translate into 30-40. Set some fairly easily-attainable target to travel/maintain membership in the team--say, 6/10 training sessions and 2/3 of build season meetings to travel, 5/10 and 1/2 respectively to be on the team.

Now, while you're in the offseason, it may also be a good idea to introduce the idea of having a marketing/outreach/animation/non-robot sub-team. That way, anybody who thinks they would rather go that way can get a good head start.
