Re: How do you deal with 60+ new members joining the team?
I know there are a few teams in my area who use FTC as a sort of JV team - it's cheaper, while still giving the students the skills they need on the FRC team. That then leads into either tryouts or "graduation" into the FRC team at some point. Personally, I'm not a big fan of tryouts for FRC, but I can understand why an extremely large team would feel the need to go that route. There is a point where a team can be too big - you can only fit so many students around the robot or in the pit!
And to your post title... if we had 60+ new members join the team in a given year, that would represent almost 25% of the student body of our school! As it is with 20-25 students on the roster every year, we have a rather high percentage of the student body being involved compared to most teams
