We really hope that it is only this year, but it seems that our team is falling apart. Two years ago our team had a lot of members and was spirited. It seems like everything that we have worked for has dissapated.
Our team has gone down to about 6 members who actively participate. We lost three mentors, this year. 
Okay enough with me babbling, its not all that important to you guys I'm sure 
We Hope to see you all next year.

You have more members than team 1893 did and IT WENT to regionals and IT competed! They were pretty much a team of one or two. You can always have other teams help maintain your robot. Every other team did something to make sure that 1893 was able to compete. Other teams even helped drive the robot. That's gracious professionalism for ya.
And don't worry. As long as you have the money and the will, just go out and roll. But I understand why you can't. But teams reorganize and regain their strength. Take 1893 and also 399, which lost a head mentor and the mentor's son. Hence--the team name TNT! (They ended up going to championships as well as Chesapeake and Vegas and they're still goin' strong.)
