[FTC]: Ideal team size for FTC team of middle schoolers

Rookie coach here.

I have 32 middle schoolers - only 6 kids in 8th grade.
I have 2 registered teams.

Should I spin up another?

Pro
-More "hands on" time per kid
-There is a 15 person cap in MI FIRST

Con
-Mentors spread thin
-If kids drop, then we are 7-9 kids per team.

Looking forward to veteran opinions.
