Re: Hosting A FRC Team @ A Middle School

To answer many of the concerns raised. With 155, they allow the high school students to come back and work on the team. The reason the high school team dropped out was because of burnout from the mentors. Otherwise, they had the resources to maintain the two teams. The Techno-nuts are from a small town with only one middle school and one high school.

As for having multiple teams in one town, I now work with a team in Worcester, MA and we have had as many as 7 FRC teams in our city. Back then it was a struggle to find sponsorships and make sure we weren't accidentally asking a small company that was already sponsoring another team. Of the 7 teams, 3 are left (the others went to Vex). All three now have the same main sponsor and each have other smaller sponsors. The Vex teams, FRC teams, and FTC teams are all fighting for the same sponsors but luckily there are a lot of companies and with the economy getting better it is getting easier to find sponsors.
