Yeah, you'll still be in the same town, and they'd skin you (metaphorically speaking of course) if you defected to the cross-town rivals. 166, however, might be considered an even exchange.
In my case, I moved an hour away and needed to find a closer team. I'd be loyal but driving to Nashua in the snow this year has convinced me that it's not quite a good idea. (That's why you saw me at Mayhem -- it was nice non-snowy weather.)
More on-topic, I only went to one high school (Locust Valley HS in Locust Valley, NY), and every year I look for their new FRC team only to be disappointed. I kinda wish they'd had FIRST when I was there, but then, when I graduated (1996), FIRST was only five years old and likely existed only in New England. What matters is I'm here now, I suppose. I would have liked to have been a student at some point rather than just a mentor, though.
