 From what I've seen in FIRST, teams that copy generally always learn something from it, and if they don't, the copy they produce is of much lower quality than the original. - TheOtherGuy [more] |

smaller is better
I agree with most of the other replys, a smaller team of core members who are dedicated to FIRST is better than a large team. With a large team some of the students may be idle and they may cause progress to slow. I speak from experience, for two years I was on a small team where everyone worked. Then last year our team grew immensly some people (who weren't helping out) sat around and discussed how bad our team was. Our team took a real hit and lost a lot of great people. I strongly recommend having a small team. You may not have many people but you'll do better as long as they're dedicated.
As far as getting them motivated try some team outings like bowling, laser tag, paint ball, or even just going to someone's house and watching movies. Get to know your team, it really does help. Good Luck!! Don't give up!! -- Dave B. Team 93 Diehard Senior Member
