if you guys had more members i would say yes split but maybe if you open your team up to any high school student in your area you could get many more students
but just like industrialization you need be really stably lots of mentors good funding (although this can save you money if you do it for like my team) and if you ask rees there's a lot more un-fun work so it put more stress on your team but the benefit is huge the subteam's on 340 (the vet's team) is pack with talent the kids that moved up learned a lot on 424 there are no rookies in to slow you down not that getting slowed down is bad
but as for a female team i don't see why the world is men and women yes boys can get controlling but what better practices for the girls learn to get heard on 340 and 424 most girls who join end up being able to work right alongside everone in fact for the past 2 years either the vp or president has been a girl
i think if you wan to split go rookies and vet but don't be afraid to let them mesh from time to time let them work to help each other

ps if you ever split you should remember be one team two (different) robots
