Re: Starting a Mostly student run FRC team

It is very tough and you really need someone from the school who is organized. I am running my second year team and we do have a faculty advisor but she does not do anything it is very tough to do. If you are running a student run team make sure it is resonably sized team because you are going to need all the people you have.

Also from a legal standpoint you need a faculty advisor. One thing when trying to find the perfect faculty advisor is to look for someone organized. We had a faculty advisor who had no idea what she was doing and she was disorganized and at points it was becomming dangerous. Advertise your team in the school and get the support of the principle it will be much easier to find someone to help you. We are in a similer point where our faculty advisor was fired.
