Also you have to have good grades, we didn't have an honor roll rule(that seems really really over the top to me personally) but you had to have at least a C average to travel with no failing grades. Also the teacher from the high school who participated on the team would talk to all the students teachers and get exams or homework that they might miss during the competition and we had mandatory study time every night where the students would do homework or take the exams or just study if they didn't have homework or exams to take.

This is about what we do. I already talked about our grade requirements. We have a strict attendance policy. You must attended everyday of build season as well as every meeting both during and not during build. (There are a few exemptions from this.) Students also must actively participate in all the fundraisers the team runs and must be active in getting funding for the team (that would be local contributors or corporate sponsors).
