Re: The end of RoboPride 2781

Sorry to hear about your team shutting down. I'm sure it provided many years of encouragement, fun, and learning for your members.

Even though it may not be an option for your team in particular, I echo the encouragement for teams to consider switching to a community team when the school is unable to continue.

2706 was formed when the teacher running 2994 had to take a temporary hiatus in 2015. He encouraged us to form a new community based veteran team with the existing mentors and students, and that's what we did! Not only were we able to continue FRC for the students of that school, but we now have students from a dozen other schools as well. 2994 is back this year and now there are two FRC teams in our region. Everyone wins!
