Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Multiple Teams at One School

OK, I'll bite.

What is so bad about a student being a member of two teams? Take the driver position out of the equation. If a student is able to be part of two teams (two teams at one school is the likely scenario, but I can think of situations where a student could have the opportunity to be on two teams at separate schools), why specifically is this "bad"? Wouldn't the student have the opportunity for twice the inspiration? What am I missing?

We have mentors that are members of multiple teams (the Martian mentors even have dual shirts!) - is FIRST going to disallow this in the future?

I suppose that the logistics of being a full fledged member of two teams might be pretty difficult unless those two teams act as one in all aspects - robot design, scouting, etc (animation, chairman's, and other types of activities would be the only distinct areas). But what if a team suddenly had a lot of extra cash and decided that they wanted to enter two robots themselves? To do so, a new team has to be created. This rule would prevent this unless they are able to come up with 3 new students (for a new drive team) - which shouldn't be hard, but work with me on this.

I'm not saying I disagree with the rule....I'm just wondering why it has to be a rule in the first place.
