I am sorry that your team has this policy. Everyone that comes up for the award has had something to do with the team's success. We have many subteams, all of them valuable to the team and some who never come to the shop. The shop workers allow the animation team the time they need to work so that they don't have to spend time working on the robot. We have an active parent organization and even if we didn't, getting up late to go drive students home or early to get a student to the bus for a trip is still a real effort.
If you wear the shirt, you participate with the team. It's the price you pay for wearing tie dye.
