Re: Team sizes?

I have looked at this in the past. My team is probably about 20 students that actually come and help out with all the aspects of the team. When i look at it, even though about 12 people really designed and built the robot, when we go to a competition we have everybody wearing shirts and cheering for us. These enourmous team sizes really don't bother me at all, because though i know that not all of them had a hand in the team persay, they all walked away form the competition inspired by the technology and workings of a FIRST team.
We all know that even though they are at the competition with a certain teams shirt on, it doesn't mean they're a member of the team, but supporting their *home team*.... This is why i say there are 20 of us on my team instead of the 35 that show up to our regional competitions.....
