Re: Eligibility to be considered a team member

While at Worlds I spoke with some people from FIRST about age limits. From what I was told the lower age is considered a "soft" limit while the upper age is a "hard" limit. I would think the only exception would be a high school student who was held back a year and thus would be 19 at graduation. I believe that is the only exception to the 18 year old hard limit for FRC.

The way I was explained "soft" lower age limit is that if you have someone who is in advanced classes, and is in 8th grade, or if someone will be turning 14 during the season, then that student would be allowed to join. At least that is what several different FIRST people have told me.
