Re: What is the biggest problem faced by FIRST teams?

Turnover.

This is the first year that I think our team has really felt it, but we only have 6 or 7 returning members with about 30-40 incoming freshmen and first year sophomores.

It must be so hard as a mentor who has worked with a team for a number of years, to get to know students really well, and develop relationships and start to depend on certain students to benefit the team, and the all of the sudden, they are gone and you start all over again.
