[DUCKIE]

I don't know about the largest team, maybe 103 The Cybersonics. I seem to recall a time ('01 or '02) where one of their pit ambassadors told me their whole school was on the team. Don't know if they all did much with the robot, but that's just what I vaguely remember.

------------

With the Miracle Workerz, the largest number of students we've ever fielded in the FRC program was around 50 students (my rookie year) We've never had that many students since, as there was just not enough work to go around.

35-40 seems to be the best range of students for our program based on experience in prior seasons, what sub-teams/activities we run (for example, we don't always field an animation team), how we break into sub-teams, how many mentors we have, and available work/meeting space.

------------

We've been able to help reach more students (while not over-filling the team) by starting an FTC team for Freshman and any older students that can't/don't want to meet the more intensive attendance expectations that the FRC team requires. [Especially come build season] Those student then have some training, and a leg-up over new students wanting to join MOE; when they return as Sophomores.
