Re: [FTC]: Teams with >10 members

From the 2013-2014 Mentor's Guide:

Quote:
Team Size

Every team is different and there is no "ideal" number of students on a team.
Ultimately, the size of a team is based upon the Mentor’s preference and the
interest of the students.

• The minimum number of students is 1.
• The suggested maximum number of students is 10, though some teams
will be larger than this.

Note: Some events will have a 10 student limit for access to the pit area, so
larger teams should define roles clearly in advance.
I actually didn't notice the last part until now. We've only been a team for two years, but nobody has ever even monitored how many students we had around, much less regulated it.

If they didn't even let you register more than ten students, then it seems they were breaking the rules.

I can understand not allowing more than ten in the pits, due to space concerns. But the team can be more than ten.
