On the subject of team member numbers:

I'd say budget for those who you absolutely need or require operation and administrative purposes. Based on last years game, you definately need two drivers, one human player and an adult mentor/teacher on your team also a person to do scouting if prefered. I think that would be the minumum. But Obviously more people go into making and planning the team than that. Also if you only brought 5 people you would be exhausted by the time you see day 3 or 4 I'm guessing. Depending on your budget and administrative privleges on your schools end you can bring as many people as you want to (I think). I don't know if there is a limit per team set out by FIRST. Make sure you have the right student to adult ratio as set out by your school if applicable.

For example Last year we had 50 people go. Students, Parents, Teachers, Mentors and Engineers. (Lots of fundraising was invlved. lol) This year we are planning a ghost team to go to Nats if we make it, maybe 15 people at the most. Make sure you have enough adults to handle the students and enough student to play the game. If you can't afford the park's admissions I'd say skip it, even though that's what the biggest perk is from the beginning to hold it at Disney.

Also some teams bring cheerleaders, band members and the like. But just determine what your budget is going to be for the year ASAP and start planning and making reservations now.

And hey, maybe whoever goes from your team will be able to see "IT" up close at the closing cermonies this year just like the Ibot was shown last year.

Most of all, Remember to have fun!!!
