We have seen the virtuous circle thing happen with the swim team that my sons participate on. It is a very happy thing.

I think it is human nature to want to join and/or support a winning team (or at least one on an upward trajectory). This is one more reason why it is very important to quickly get a rookie team to a basic level of competence in all areas; robot, management, mentorship, fundraising. This is where the established teams can help, as Michael indicated. Unfortunately, this will not help all rookie teams. I am sure we all have seen teams where they already think they know everything and refuse offers for help.
