Re: FIRST Champs Invite - How do you manage growth of your FRC Program?
Mr. B.
I think you idea to involve more students actively in FRC is a great idea. For myself, I wonder about the finances for two teams as well as managing time for the two teams.
We have used our FTC program with 45 ninth and tenth graders on 4 teams to build towards FRC. We moved up 9 sophomores to FRC this year but use our FTC program as an introduction to FIRST. We even encouraged one team to design without using TETRIX as the base for their robot as much as possible this year. That team qualified for Champs as well for the PTC Design Award.
I look forward to visiting with you more at Champs about this idea.
