We have a total of 18 members and remarkably we had 16 come on two or more of the days of the Philly regional which is a record breaker for us. Only about 6 students are active in building/programing, which works pretty well for us, however 5 of those students are seniors which poses a problem for when we graduate.

For our next regional we are going down on Wed. with only 3 students and 2 mentors!!! Others are coming down on either Thurs or Fri for a grand total of 3 mentors and 5 students! Have any other teams gone to a regional with this few number of people? Have you been able to handle it and come out successfully? We are used to having a very small team and handled Houston with only 7 students, however this will be the smallest ever at a competition. Its funny this is a year of firsts for us, greatest number at a competition as well as the least.
