I think it's great to start new teams too, and I never thought about teams quitting because of disappointments or boredom. Our team isn't incredibly old, but I could never see us quitting. Yes, we have financial problems too, but our community has been incredibly supportive and has helped out a lot, especially for being a small town, and we have always found we could scrape up the money to go to a regional and championship. We have always found it great to start new teams, because we are incredibly enthusiastic about FIRST and it tends to spread. I could never think of a team going to a competition, then not being excited about FIRST. After my first competition, I was absolutely addicted, lol. Our team is a role model for the over 20 new teams in Kansas this year and I think it just feels really good to be spreading FIRST, and I hope that old teams remember this feeling and don't die out, even if I find that really strange and hard to believe.
