Starting a Mostly student run FRC team

[Akash Rastogi]

Guess the above post sums it up. But why can't you continue to run your current team? All you need is a school advisor or parent for like supervision. Even if a team is almost fully student run, its super tough to do (trust me, MORT has done it before). We've tried it before and tried to become pretty autocratic, but it leads to disorganization no matter how great the students are, there are just some things you need teachers and parents for.

Remember, this is coming from a team that has been "mostly student run" for the past 13 years, its tough and I don't recommend it. Get adults (teachers, parents, engineers, mentors) and continue your current team. Take this advice please, it'll help prevent a lot of stupid little problems. Working with other students on a student run team gets frustrating without and adult to help keep your heads on straight.
