Re: Team sizes?

we have 9 students on our team ... 2 teachers who have recently (in the past two weeks) become a little bit involved .. and 4 mentors/engineers ... we work really well together ... most of us students show up to meetings (anywhere from 6-9 at a meeting). we joke around a lot and know a lot about each other personally ... some of us are connected outside of the team as well which helps.

as to which i like better .. i like a team of 10 because you become really good friends and as a result more gets done .. i was on a team of about 20 last year .. and i think that thats the maximum there should be because after that1 (and even then) some people are just sitting around

edit/ it also depends on how your team is organized .. our engineers used to have a rule (when there were 13 people) on the team, that only 6 could show up at a time because any more would be less productive and they were not able to watch over 13 of us at a time ... this might be a good rule for some of the larger teams (40- 50) people to enforce but maybe with 12 people instead ... but then again it all depends on your team

I am also interested in operator/safety captain badges, pins, or any other handouts your team may have given out that you would be willing to mail to Canada.
