6 is a perfect number. So is 28. So are 496, 8128, and 33550336, but they are not practical numbers of members for a single FRC team.
I've seen FRC teams with 6 members; e.g., FRC276 (Youngstown, OH) in 2004. They probably could have used a few more.
There have probably been FRC teams with 28 members, but I can't cite one now. 28 seems like the most realistic perfect number of team members.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
