Re: 2014 help for third year team

We did that for the travel trip. Only twenty students are allowed to come. The thing is, at the local regional, it isn't much of a hassle to include the students who weren't really committed, so they are allowed to go. I don't know, my freshman year I sat back and learned, didn't do much, I just watched people do things and learn programming, but the people who don't participate just sit in the classroom and talk 3-8 everyday. It got under the skin of the people who did things. We tried to do a journal type thing. Write down in detail what you did that day, but the grader, the teacher sponsor, just gave everyone perfect scores regardless of what they did. It's at the point where only us 6 students can describe the technical aspects of the robot. Has anyone else had success with reversing this trend? And how common of a trend is this?
