# Optimal Team Size

The **optimal team size** is **4-5 members**. This is the ideal size for team members who have time to commit to robotics. Anything more than 5 starts to result in problems; not every team member can contribute to the team. 

But, this isn't a steadfast rule because there are times when smaller or larger teams can also work fine.

A **team of 2-3** members can work if robotics is part of your free time and you are willing to spend numerous hours every single day in the week towards Robotics.

A **team of 6+** can work if not all team members have enough time to commit to robotics, so more members allow the workload to be lighter on each teammate. 

Regardless of the size of your team, you need to ask yourself the underlying question: **can this team size fulfill the objectives of robotics that have been set aside?** 

If your answer is **NO**: then you probably need more members so you can complete whatever your objective is.

If your answer is **YES**: then you are good to go!
