Re: Too large of a team?

Hi, I'm one of the surprisingly few GT students working with the team. Despite what people may think about GT, being that it is a Tech school, our numbers are surprisingly low. We only have about 10 college mentors working with the FIRST team, and 2 of those were recent grads from Wheeler.

The great thing about this team is that by growing the FIRST team through Wheeler, we grow our robotics team at Tech. It has been working out pretty well so far, but as far as the GT side goes, our problem is money, space, and experience. We have more than enough ideas to occupy everyone, but not enough money to buy parts, not enough experience to have leaders for every project, and certainly not enough space to work on so many projects. We are trying to work more off-season to give more experience to the high school leaders, hopefully so that it will trickle down and benefit the whole team. If I had to work with all of the students, my head would explode.
