Re: How many students does it take to maintain a team?
My team started off with 5 students last year. This year we had 10. To me at least, the number of students you have doesn't matter, it's how hard they work and how good of engineers and mechanics they are. When you have such a small amount of people everyone works on something, and I think they learn more as a result. The only downside is that it's hard to do the extra stuff like pins and giveaways with more limited resources, and you can kiss having good scouting reports from your team at competions goodbye. I personally like small teams, but I've never experienced a big one.
What have you done in the past for recruiting?
