Cool Continuing the Cycle
I am a current member (high school student) of 461 and will (unfortunately) graduate in one year. I am not a college student, but I give you my word that it has been extremely difficult for them to manage studies and FIRST. It is no joke. If you are in FIRST and School at the same time, you are prone to either time management or loss of sleep. Especially if you are a college advisor (at least this is the way 461 works), you will have to go to extra meetings about the organziation of the team, as well as do some machining (since much of our external machining comes from Purdue) outside of meetings. College students also mentor the high school students in design and manufacturing skills (although most of this is done pre-season)

I'M NOT SAYING "DON'T DO IT"

I'm just saying that it will not be a walk in the park

STILL, I SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY!!! START A TEAM, AND GOOD LUCK!
