Challenges of small teams with fewer than 10 students

[Dan 1038]

Hi! Here is my take, from a guy leading 2 small rookie teams this year... niether of my teams had other experienced mentors helping, nor did we have much in the way oc resources. My recommendation to both teams was determine what we could reasonably accomplish and do well; both teams chose kitbots with 4 CIMs, 6 wheel drive and arms to grab the bridges - the focus was excel at defense and balancing. Based on 4306's performance in practice today, this approach rocked! We proved able to do everything we set out to do! The next few days will be fun knowing we are great at what we set out to do... keep the team focussed on achievable goals with maximum results!
