Re: When to split the team

I come from a team (Or is it teams) has split into two teams, and it is something that should not be taken lightly. The workload is increased greatly and building more than one robot that needs to be competition ready is a serious challenge. There are times that I think building robot would produce better results, just because we wouldn't have the headaches of two. The number of problems you will have is instantly doubled, if not more. Think about it like this, you have the same amount of people working as before, but you have to do double the jobs of a single team. It is a lot harder than what you would think it would be. Is it a great way to get more students involved? Yes. Does it dramatically change the FIRST experience? I think, but then again it has been all I have ever known (except my Freshman year). If you want more info on it just PM any questions.
