Re: PCH 2017
I think getting kids involved at a younger age is a piece of the puzzle, but more so in terms of growing involvement, which isn't the exact problem here.
Many teams are experiencing new member growth as their outreach programs started 3-4 years ago in middle schools start to yield results, but this member growth hasn't changed the core problem competitiveness. Whether a team has 5 members, 15, or 50, no pch team has yet to show they are truly dedicated to being the best they can be. Everyone seems content with low effort bots that get them 1 banner, a semi final exit at state champs, and a ticket to worlds.
But then again, there is no reason to be competitive when you have 18 half-champs slots for a district as poorly performing as pch, right?
