In my opinion, student interest, supportive mentors, and school support are the three most important things to have in a team. Lots of great teams have dedicated students who want to well during competition season, along with mentors who can educate those students to hone their skills and teach new ones. School support is also important (especially for us, since I'm pretty sure they pay for our district registration). It was hard for us this year since we lost our shop in the high school, and had to setup in an unused room in the middle school.
