Team Size

[Aignam]

Our team begins each year with about 50 kids right after the school 'Clubfest'. This withers down rather quickly to about 35, and this number usually drops to about 20-30 active members.

[Chris Bright]

We have 29. Surprisingly we have 12 girls. Which is pretty high I think

[Jeff Waegelin]

Generally, we start the season with around 20, and have somewhere around 15 by the time regionals come around. Looks like it'll be about the same this year.

I'd like to correct OneAngryDaisy (great job at Ramp Riot this past weekend!).

The MOE team (Team #365) consists of about 35-40 students, a bunch of team mentors, and parents, and our groupies. We have many groupies, and encourage them to buy a MOE green and black jersey if they attend an official event. I'm sure this gives the impression that we are everywhere (sometimes we use the phrase that "we spread like a virus").

Another misconception is that we include the whole state of Delaware. While they may seem true, Delaware residents actually number more than 300 people (amazed looks!). Now, granted, Delaware is not a large state and you can cross it width-wise in about 20 minutes (faster is not encouraged) when there is little or no traffic on I-95, but some in the state have not met one of our MOEbots and few (very few) have not heard the sound of our MOEStix.

This year, we would like to welcome another Delaware team!!!!! Middletown HS (not sure of the team #, up around 1370).

Bottom line - 35-40 student team members, not all of Delaware.

Nuff said.

Team 814 this year consists of about 15 students, 5 of them veterans. We have one teacher advisor, and an engineer that pops in an out during build season. I enjoy being on a smaller team.

As for large teams, though, I haven't really counted. I just see big teams. Monta Vista (115) is a rather large team, if I remember correctly.


PS: Just some random thing I find interesting....females used to take up about 1/10th of the team (oh! oh! that was me!!). Now females take up 1/3 of the team. That makes me happy. =)

We normally have a team of about 10 to 20 students. We found out that the bigger the team, the less work there is to go around.

I must post a correction:

Robo-Dox (599) has about 50 students.

The number is too many, but I can't seem to turn people away.

Since Brian didn't say how many our team has, I guess I will.

Our website has 78 students registered. On an actual meeting we get about 50 each week.

I think my current team (#639) has about 30 students... We've grown more or less linearly from about 10 people since our first year. Also, I would say only about half are active each year. Further, I would say most of returning members who were NOT active the previous year make a lot of effort to be involved and helpful the next year.

Actually, 639 has a maximum of 25 members a year who may participate during the build season and go to regionals. This is due to the maximum occupany of the technology lab we work in. This year, we have 16 returning members, leaving space for 9 new members. 28 new member applications have been turned in.

I've got the same problem.... as Alex mentioned, we have 78 students right now. Way too many, but I think we'll grow until we colapse under our own weight. We've just become to POPULAR. )(Which can't be bad.)

Just interesting to see what other people can handle. (I'm not saying we can handle this many.)

[Arrowsmith]

we have 18 or so, we put everybody into the robot, and get all our projects done pre-season

[Arefin Bari]

mm... team size... i think we have about 60 people in our team... but about half of them shows up at the meetings... we have a lot of dedicated members... since "sigmaC@t season never ends" they are busy most of the time... we have different groups in our team who would do certain stuff for the team. the largest team is probably spam that i know of...

[dez250]

our team doesnt set a max or cap the amount of students that participate. when i joined the team in my sophamore year, i think we strated with around 100 students, from that meeting till kickoff, it dwindled to around 60 and after kickoff we had about 50, but only about 10-15 students who really were "die-hard" and put more then the required amount to travel with the team. This seems to happen every year and this year we have all ready gotten down to around 60. It kinda is tough at times to work as a team when you have so many people around even if they are in other rooms doing different things, you just seem to get distracted often.
