400+ FLL teams with max capacity of 10 per team, and 203 FTC teams with a max capacity of 15.

There is a huge push to start more FTC teams in Michigan, but clearly, there are kids being left behind as they transition between elementary to middle school.

And as Christopher149 pointed out there is a huge geographic hurdle to overcome if you live in the UP or upper LP.
