Lazy people.... my favorite thing ever! I'm on of them but not when it comes to FIRST. To deal with lazy people soem of the stuff that has worked well is doing things like actually giving them a semi-important job and matching them up with a mentor to help them, this way they must do work and become constructive or they let people down. Also place your team on a point system to decided who gets to go to competitions, warn students if they are lazy and don't do work they won't recieve points for their time and won't be invited to go to competition with the team. Other ideas for getting them to help out is talk to them, find out what they enjoy doing and letting them pick their task within the team, they may want to do animation, or design team logos, or maye be creative and want to do chairmans, find out what they liek and they will be more inclined to actually work. I hope this helsp some, and don't worry, you're not the only one battling lazy teammates
