By contrast, these are non-selective (but still excellent) public schools in Queens, New York City. Both have FRC teams - one rookie; one established.
Francis Lewis - 4000
Cardozo - 4000
While Stuyvesant is a large school, it isn't conducive to a FRC event because you need to take an escalator or elevator to get everywhere. There aren't even rooms to have the pits and field on the same floor. By contrast, Francis Lewis is a flat school. They've been running a FTC qualifier which has gone well.

I wasn't thinking Francis Lewis or Cardoza.. Both would work. In my head i was thinking of the big frc with the big teams
Fl and cardoza have less established teams therefore in my head less likely yo host an event but fl id huge I've been there multiple times (it was my zoned school) ive actually been to all the schools i listed and all the ones you listed so i know my way around them all. I see the issues with brooklyn tech it being so reliant on multi levels.
