Re: A Little Thought Experiment
Jon may have prefaced this with "In no particular order:", but I say, he got the order exactly right!

2. Great shop space. Large, well equipped with mills, lathes, CNC machines, etc.
3. A well thought out system of support classes in the school. Corouter science, Engineering, CAD, even a robotics class. Someplace for the students to learn the specifics and background that you never have time to cover adequately during the season.
4. A solid feeder program, with FTC in every middle school and FLL in every elementary school.
5. Popular support from the student body. her the entire student body As behind the team as they are for the football team, and you'll build more interest and commitment.
6. A well-led parent support organization to assist with fundraising, feeding the team, building field elements, etc.
Those are the ones that come to me to start with.
