Such a large team sounds interesting and challenging. I wonder if FRC might be a better fit for that many kids on one team. Have you considered a varsity team with a few junior varsity team feeding into the varsity team?

I have noticed that it seems to be getting harder for smaller teams to advance to the upper ranks. There are many advantages to having a team of only 5 or 6 kids as it forces them to develop skills across all the areas just to survive which I think will serve them well in their future careers. But the amount of effort a small team must expend to come close to the bigger teams on things like outreach and scouting is huge. It can be done but I wonder if a recommended size along with an upper limit on size would help keep FTC teams on a more level playing field an be more in the keeping of the FTC spirit.
