I’m just curious as to what the size of your guys’ teams are…
We have two people :D, but this is also our first year. I’m lucky just not being the only one.
What about you?
EDIT: Oh yeah, I was referring to the animation teams.
let’s see, since '92 and now we have… 11 students and 7 mentors, fail, and we have 2 alumni coming back
we started in 2001, we now have around 75 students, around 25-30 mentors and 3 college students. Largest team we’ve ever had.
We are a rookie team of 30 students and about 15 mentors mostly from Whirlpool
We start off every year with about 15 people, and that usually goes down to the same 5-8 people working on the robot by then end of build season. This year we also have 2 mentors.
Then everyone comes back on competition day, conveniently 
this year we have 4 kids maybe 5. 4 mentors. and the alumni hang around and help a lot especially at regionals 
and I’m just there full time since I drive to campus every day.
I assume you mean the size of the animation group. This is our first year with an organized animation crew and we have three sophomores, one freshman, and a mentor. Those four students all happen to be girls who are extremely hard working and creative but have very wacky ideas. Once or twice in the past, our team has had a “rogue” student 
take on the animation challenge but they were more or less on their own as our main team was small with limited resources.
For the overall robotics team, our rookie year was 2005 and this year I believe we have 20+ students all of whom are deeply involved. We have a very complex robot this year and students have been broken out into sub-teams to work on various components of the 'bot.
6 students, all newbies, and no mentors! It was a fun time hahaha.
Oh! Animation! Whoops.
We have 6 students and one, “Mentor.” The only reason I put that in quotes is because she does not know how to use the programs at all. She helps us brainstorm and makes sure all of the scenes look great. I do not know what we would do without her!
I am the animation mentor and I have two girls work with me. Selena and Kim.

We have about 5. Last year, we had 3. Me, the leader, and our safety captain.
We don’t even have a mentor yet we still were up for the international award! (in 2010)
This is our fourth year and now we have 27 members. Majority are Freshmen, including me. (X
They mean how many members on your animation team.
Haha. My first year doing animation, I did it all alone. My second year the animation team doubled - I got a freshman to help me. This year we once again doubled the animation team, we now have four dedicated animation students (Me, the sophomore from last year, and two freshman). We also have an amazing artist who will draw/paint whatever we want him to. So, currently, we have ‘kind of’ five animation people. There’s never been an animation mentor on my team really, I’m self taught and I’ve helped teach all the freshman that have come my way.
So technically you are the mentor.
You don’t have to be a grown up to be a mentor. Just willing to share what you know with others.
we had about 60 some odd kids, mostly freshman
during season about 30 regulars show
on our animation team however we have 2 animators and about 6 people total
the other 4 do various tasks on the animation team
Our animation team is mostly me, with a small amount of help from three others (one did one scene, another did a model, and another helped with brainstorming). But that’s alright considering we only have 12 people on our team, and this is our rookie year. 
3 animators, 8 or 9 mentors, about 26 students total. This is our 10th year as a team, and 6th year as animators.
We got 4 animators and one mentor in the animation team. They did a fantastic job this year.
