What are some reasons as to why teams split? I know team 375 split and formed team 522 because the school split or something.

I know from my mentor that RV and our school robotics team split because of the arugement over should the students build. and so was born Team 816. Or something along those lines

What is RV? How could you have an argument over that?

RV- Rancocas Regional High School AKA. Team 87 Diablo

Good question but it was an arguement

If there's an argument that splits the team, you don't ask what it was like/about and what the sides were. That's asking for trouble. Let the fact that it was an argument suffice.

Well I was interested in the topic of the argument itself and what the sides could be exactly. I guess there is a thread somewhere on Chief Delphi with those with both views posting in them.

Normally, that's the kind of thing that you a) don't want to know or b) would drag you in. You get me? There are MANY threads here on that very topic, yes (seeing as it has been released), but 90% + have been locked because tempers flared. That's another reason not to get involved if you don't have to--innocent bystander gets hit kind of thing.

In this case it wasnt much of a temper flare thing, they just split and really if it was its long gone this happened after the 2001 season but yeah lets keep it at what Eric said.

Some splits also happen because the team gets too big for all the kids. A few schools have a boys team and a girls team.

RV-Rancocas Valley

I believe he explained what he heard the argument was over earlier in this thread.

oops I forgot the Valley in the name, hehe. its Rancocas Valley Regional High School. And I believe it my mentor wanted the students to build the whole robot themselves and the RV mentor wanted the students only to assemble the pieces and the mentors make the parts, tomorrow i'll see my mentor (he's also my shop teacher) and I'll ask him again. but I believe it was that. at least what I recall.

Depends on the team; 340 and 424 (Rochester, NY) are the result of 340 having too many team members and splitting off 424; 64 disappeared suddenly (result: 39 and one or two other teams)...

But many splits result from disputes within the team, unfortunately.

Eh, Actually. 375 (Staten Island Technical High School) and 522 (McKee High School) have never had any "robotic" affiliation. You're probably thinking of 371 (Curtis High School). Back in the day it was Curtis and McKee under 371, the team went by the name of "CMOS". A few years later, the RoboWizards came to be under team number 522. By the way, all of the teams mentioned are in Staten Island, NY.

I guess I misunderstood. Last year when I visited your lab I asked about mckee's affiliation with Staten Island tech (because of PSAL and MSIT) and I guess I misunderstood. He did tell me that the two schools used to be one school though and thats why you share sports teams.
