What is the minimum and ideal size for a rookie team?

Do students typically concentrate in one particular area (i.e. construction, programming, web site, annimation, marketing)?
No two FIRST teams are every really the same so there is no ideal size for a team. All that really matters is that they are motivated too put in the hours and make the proper sacrifices for the program (FIRST is very time consuming so make sure to let the new members know that upfront. Not everyone is willing or able to give that much time to the program)I remember a few years ago one team consisted of one ambitions student at Buckeye.
