In the past, I recommended many schools to start FRC teams. Now I am much more cautious and ask many more questions.

Questions for potential FRC rookies:
1. How long has the program being doing STEM activities (FTC, VEX...) ?
2. Is the teacher willing to commit for multiple years ?
3. Does the team have mentors in place ?
4. Will the team be able to have sponsors for year 3 and beyond ?

Are there other questions that need to be asked before schools consider FRC ?
