There was a team next to us at buckeye that had literally 3 people: a kid, his dad, and his physics professor. And he got a judges award (I think). He was the only one to accept it!

Yah our pits were near there too. I can't believe it is possible to build a functioning robot in 6 weeks with 3 people.

I have looked at this in the past. My team is probably about 20 students that actually come and help out with all the aspects of the team. When i look at it, even though about 12 people really designed and built the robot, when we go to a competition we have everybody wearing shirts and cheering for us. These enourmous team sizes really don't bother me at all, because though i know that not all of them had a hand in the team persay, they all walked away form the competition inspired by the technology and workings of a FIRST team.
We all know that even though they are at the competition with a certain teams shirt on, it doesn't mean they're a member of the team, but supporting their *home team*.... This is why i say there are 20 of us on my team instead of the 35 that show up to our regional competitions.....

This year we have 30 students, 3 teachers, and approxmately 10 technical/parent mentors.
