Re: [FTC]: Teams with >10 members

In the past, teams usually consisted of ten people or less. I know it was a "rule" in the past, but was never really followed, or enforced. As FTC has been growing, it seems like there are a lot more teams out there that have 10+ people.

For an FTC team, at least how we feel, should be no more than 10 people, as the students don't all get to know the robot as well as they should. When an FTC bot is fully put together, only about 2-3 students can really work on the bot at the same time... due to the size.

I know for our team, we are looking at an "interest" growth for next year, moving from the 10 students this year, to 30 students next year. For us, we will not go over 10 people a team, meaning we are probably going to have two more teams join the family, which is going to be interesting..
