When to split the team

[Steve Kaneb]

I'd recommend against splitting the team, as a member of a local Worcester team as well as a DMHS alum.
Running a FIRST team requires a lot of money, and any more will help. Having 2 underfunded teams is less beneficial than having one team that has adequate funding.
$150 dollars (outside of the kit, I'm assuming) is a ridiculously low sum of money to put together a robot. Watching your team compete at BattleCry, I thought that it was a pretty well thought out robot built on the cheap.
If you get rid of the "built on the cheap" part, the team has a high chance of flourishing.
Plus, that extra funding can go towards some really cool team attire, events or outreach.

Hope to see you out there again next year.
