Re: New England Teams To-Be-Registered
1687's school was unable to continue to support the program, and is moving in a new direction. Their students will be continuing with VEX and other engineering programs offered at the school. A few student members from the already tiny 2014 team wanted to continue with FRC, which lead to the creation of the school independent team 5400, in partnership with Worcester County 4-H.
We will have four student members (below the maximum 5 for rookie status) and a few mentors of various involvement from 1687 working with us, but that's about as far as carryover from 1687 goes. We are starting from the ground up on resources, materials, team structure and management, build space, avenues to recruit students, etc, and carry no direct or official connection to 1687's school.
We're sad to see 1687 go, and wish that both programs could have been made to happen. However, we're excited about the opportunities ahead. 4-H has been tremendously supportive, and we've got a large number of new students from a number of schools ready to go.
