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

While the money problem is the most obvious answer apathy, teacher support and the difficulty finding engineering support (particularly mechanical engineers) are also very real. That is why it so incredible when veteran FIRST teams can last as long as 10+ years because there are so many obstacles facing them to sustain the team year after year.
