How to combine FRC teams

[daniel_dsouza]

Hello all,

Our team is planning to combine with another FIRST team, as they were displaced and need a new home, and our team no longer has the student inflow that it needs to survive. (Please do not argue these facts, we are already committed.)

My question is, are there any documents that outline the procedure for officially combining two teams into one team (with one number)? Did this significantly affect the granting process?

Is there anyone who has gone through this experience before, and could share some insight as to the paperwork required?

Thanks,
Daniel D'Souza
