Our team is kind of (I think) a non-standard set-up. What happened was that we were going the be the Park School FRC team. Skipping over boring details, we found another school called the Science and Math Academy of Auberdeen (SMA) and were going to establish a partnership BUT they weren't really contributing anything except students (they choked off our fundraising options in the area) so now it IS the Park team that excepts outside students. Most of which happen to be from one school.

Our school wouldn't have enough kids to make a complete team (and by complete I mean build a robot, not do fancy web graphics n stuff) by ourselves. So far, it's worked out pretty well.

Anyway, in terms of your current difficulties: try not to get discouraged =)!

As several people on this thread have said, multi school programs can be great! If your school isn't big enough/interested enough (interest is our problem) try and talk to local to local schools that might have been wanting to start a team but were unable to or or just haven't done it yet.

Someone may have said this already, but try scouting the upcoming freshman class (if you can).

Best of luck, and keep your hopes up!
