There is one caveat that I would suggest throwing in there, and this is something that both of you should keep in mind. If more than 5 students from that school play on your team, and then start the team at their school, that school's team will not be considered rookies, but rather a "new veteran" with the same rookie year as you guys have. Plan accordingly. This is FIRST's standard, I'd have to look up where it's located.

6. If individual students who have been involved in a team leave that school and start a team in their new school that team also is generally considered a Rookie providing it meets condition 1, and does not involve sufficient students to be considered a version of condition 3. As a maximum, the number of students in the new team that have competed in prior teams must not exceed 5.
