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

Students is our problem.

We have had three high schools feed our team [it is a district team] and now we have four, but still we can only get around 20-30 people to stick around during the build. For three, soon to be four, 5A schools those are low numbers of participation. Some of it has to do with grades and eligibility while others have to do with time constraints and other options but still 20-30 people isn't great especially from schools with over ~2-3K+ students each.
