FRC Team 1885 will have 4 FTC teams. We originally planned only two teams. Then a group of seniors bought their own kit so we paid for the registration, and we had enough parental support (aka pressure, food, and funding) that we made a 4th team. The seniors have refused help from the mentors so they can see what they've learned, and so far they're kicking butt.

The county still does VEX in the middle schools, and I mentor two teams at one of the schools. It's fun to see the different perspectives of middle school vs high school. It's also fun to stay in familiar territory with VEX while also expanding into FTC. I'm taking a much more hands-off 'consultant' approach this year so I definitely shouldn't get burnt out before January.
