I agree we really should work on keeping the older teams around with all the expierence. Yes it may be hard to keep in touch with the community and schools an fundraising you always have other teams to back you up in your support. I'd also rather see a team with expierence stay around for as many years as they can, rather then rookies who can only be here 1-2 years an let go of FIRST. More should be put into keeping the older teams..
