Our team formation was pretty simple. Somewhere back in September our teacher (coach, whatever we are to call him) announced that there would be a meeting. People came (like 30).

Then in January we had meetings again (like 25).

Then we built the robot (and there was like 15 people).

Simple, huh? Our school is so tiny anyway (500 students) that we have very few interested people.

Our biggest problem is going to be next year. Out of the 15 people, we'll be losing like 7 or something (I don't remember) to graduation.

Oh well.
Try to take your robot for a demonstration to other high schools that are relatively near by and recruit people...

I'm from a school that's over an hour away form our machine shop and luckily i found someone to drive me up there every day after school. That's what a few dedicated people will prolly do form other schools if you inform them...
It's a nice experience to have more than one school involved.
FIRST it is really uncomfortable to have virtual meetings over a lerning network kind of thingy but it gets more fun every time ad there are many aspects that you don't have involved when there is only one school (well there are also less compications with only one school, lol)

so long, Philip
