Re: Member Turnover Issues
I know a team that has 100% student turnover each year: Team 1717. Their FRC team is composed of seniors only!
Each year, the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy accepts 32 students who enter as freshmen and, after three years of rigorous courses, become students of the FIRST Robotics Class (ROP). D'Penguineers deliver incredible robots and have some of the most knowledgeable and capable students you will find in FRC. Visit them at Championship: this year they won the Los Angeles Regional and Engineering Inspiration Award.
Perhaps this isn't the right model for most FRC teams, but it shows what is possible with well-prepared students.
I'd like to hear more from some 1717 students and alumni about their FRC experience!

I would much rather educate the audience than dumb-down the game. - dlavery [more]
