Re: New Team
Our team meets in our coaches basement, but you can always go around to vacant buildings that have recently gone out of business and approach the owner about using the space. If your old team is from your school, look at other schools, or go for other school groups like homeschoolers as FIRST is a great outlet. While recruiting, make sure you ask team members how involved they will be so you can see how many full time students you have. Will be bad come week 4 and find only 5 kids can show up or have too many kids depending on the size of your space. 20 kids is ideal, especially if you take the off-season to do training and such.
Our team uses a WIKI domain that allows us to send out mass emails as well as put information online like robot criteria, sub team status, tutorials, stuff like that.
Good luck!
