I think that most teams who ask the question of "Why do you want to be on the robotics team?" are using it mainly for data. In other words, they only use it as a negative if there are more students applying then there are spaces on the team.

330 does use an application process, but it's pretty much contact info, why you want to be on the team, and the like. I don't know of a single case where someone's been turned down due to their application.
