Re: Robotics Varsity Letters?

Yes, our team hands out letters. We have a fairly involved set of requirements in our team handbook outlining what it takes to letter. Essentially, it comes down to one item: Be actively involved in the team. You have to be on the team for two years, meet attendance requirements during the build season, attend competition events (not all, but a reasonable mix of regional, champs, and off-season that allows for other circumstances like family plans or trips with other school groups), attend our summer/fall off-season program, and take on some sort of leadership role on the team (with leadership being loosely defined - we've found leadership spots for everyone that's wanted one so far).

Make up a list of requirements that shows your school you're serious about it, and serious about making lettering at least as challenging as in other school activities. Build your case with the number of hours put in and the reward to both the student and the school from the program.
