Re: Why do team's fold?
I was on team 415 RoBoCRAFT that folded (for the second time; they were originally the Electric City Screaming Eagles) after the 2013 season. It was mostly due to a falling out between the school and our main sponsor, Bosch (who had presented the idea of forming an FRC team with our school in the first place). Our Bosch mentors wanted more input on the team because it was their company's money that allowed us to pay for everything. Also, the teachers wanted to use the money from sponsors to pay for their "overtime". In the end, our school decided to drop FRC and focus only on Vex (they also dropped their FTC teams). Also Vex was a lot cheaper and allowed them to pull in more students due to a lower fee to join a team.
