Well....our team policy in the begining of every season was we would take anybody that would come and put the effort in that is needed.....which it still is to a point, but to weed out the kids that were there for trips or just to spend time with their buddies we would first talk ab the time that is involved with the team....and the kind of commitment we're looking for in our members (that usually takes ab half the group out right there)...

Once your on the "team" that does not neccissarily garuntee you travel rights, you have to earn your way there by participating in fundraising events, the robot design above and beyond the call of duty, the adults decide on this..

To become part of the travel team you need to also display a positive attitude and willingness to help, doing whatever is assigned to do, qwhich means you have to be coachable and approachable, just because you show up to every meeting doesnt mean your going to make the travel team, because if you have a bad attitude, you're flagged right away....

driving last year's robot was basicly senority after some tryouts, and it came down to the senior member on our team that has been here since the begining and another 3 year Junior...when our senior couldnt make it it went down the senority lines and i got to drive....so driving seems to be seniority, as long as u can drive (having practiced)
