Perhaps I'm not understanding the question.
While you may have a team that has plenty of people, we don't, and even one person quitting will make a huge difference. For example, our main CAD person quit halfway through the season (not sure why), and that left our team helpless in terms of CAD, because the only other CAD person was new last year.

And also, I completely understand the family, school/work, robotics thing, but what if the kid was really dedicated in something else, and wanted to do robotics as a side note (ie: choose something else over robotics when meetings coincide)?
