My assumption on the structure of a team is from seeing a few different teams and their similarities in composition.
My concern ultimately lies with these two things:
1)Mass dancing interferes with game play. Time is scheduled into the rules for anything robot related; let it be such.
2)I am afraid there is a growing population of students that have no role on teams. Whether that is the same percentage-per-team multiplied by more teams at regionals now, or just a shear increase in the team size, I believe it is happening.

yeah and what we (i think, don't hit me) are saying is that the correlation between the number of people dancing and the number of "no role" students does not exist. What i have noticed is that the kids who genuinely have no role aren't the ones who are dancing, they are the ones who don't even show up to the competition, or sit in the stands with their heads in their hands showing no spirit at all. I think the ones who have no role, and who are uninspired by this program are the ones who are bored at the competitions.

dancing is a part of the competition. if it "interferes" with gameplay, so be it. they wouldnt have the music in the first place if they didnt want that to happen.
