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

The real question is → what number of robots can you build with your current inventory of parts and electronics? You can stay at two teams, but still built three or more robots in order to keep all 32 students well engaged and learning.

Then, if the estimated amount of drop outs happen, you will still be two near 15 member teams and working with three robots, which still better occupies that many students. You just have to commit to a bigger inventory of parts.
