[BB]: What do you Think (two parts)

[Ankit S.]

How far apart can teams be and still have students participate in both? How far is too far?

Well for FTC teams, I wouldn't want to travel for more than 15 minutes to get to a meeting. For FRC I'd say 30-45 minutes is the max travel time I would do. Then again, this is from my experience in my area, where there are multiple FTC teams at multiple highschools, and one FRC team that covers the whole district.

One limiting factor mostly for FTC is that a lot of FTC teams are school clubs, and cannot exist without the school. If an FTC team is a club, than no student from outside that school may be present at those meetings due to liability issues. FRC doesn't have this problem because it is possible for FRC teams to flourish without being linked to a single school.
