FRC Participation by rick.oliver
Thanks to Rick for this amazing resource. Some things that jumped out at me after just a quick glance.

- Only 58% teams who have ever existed still exist today. That means we've lost 42% of all FRC teams.
- Only 73% of teams make it to their 3rd season
- Only 62% of teams make it to their 5th season
- Only 48% of teams make it to their 10th season

It's one thing to look at attrition rates of 5-10% and think those are minor, but those rates compound pretty quickly over time.
