Re: Starting a VeX team.
I was a judge down there for VeX and based on what I saw of the competition, the teams, and the kit. The feedback I gave FIRST was 7th to 10th grade. But no idea if they will listen (though that seemed to be something the judges all agreed on). In the case where juniors or seniors were there, they usually were acting as coaches.
In terms of commitment, it looked like most teams met 2 or 3 times a week for a couple hours at a time over the month they had. Some teams didn't get thier kits on time so they worked more often during a shorter period.

I believe that those who have a clear understanding of their capabilities, both physical and financial, and design and build within those capabilities are the teams that succeed. - Daniel_LaFleur [more]
