Re: What is the biggest problem faced by FIRST teams?

Communication.

Without communication there is no:
recruitment
training
requests for sponsorship/money
networking with other teams/students/mentors/businesses
ability to help
understanding
fun

It works with machines and with people.
The better the communication system, the more efficient the organization and team. From the top down and the bottom up. It takes time, patience, and focus to develop a sound communication system, making sure everyone is on the same page and keeping it that way as new members enter the team/teams/FIRST.
