We generally look at the student's growth (as a team member and as a person) as well as other "non robotics" activities.

Example:

Student "A"
High school Junior
Third year on the team (FRC)
Mentors local FLL/FTC/VEX/SeaPerch/Jason/Whatever Team
Eagle Scout or some other community involvement (Key Club, etc.)
Plays some high school sport


Student "B"
High school Junior
Third year on the team (FRC)
Sub team Leader
Goes home and plays computer games, nothing else of note regarding items that would end up on a college application.

Its not hard to see which students "gets" FIRST and which one just like robots.
