Table 2 presents the average expenditure, team size, and FTC experience inyears. On average, an FTC team may need two to three years to grow and advance to the worldchampionship, suggesting a potential timeframe for FTC coaches to strategically plan trainingand development to build a well-established FTC team.Notably, the percentage of school-affiliated teams decreased significantly from regional to stateto world championships in both seasons.
