Re: Criteria for Allowing New Team Members

Here are Team 2220's FRC membership requirements (they might be a biot out of date, but this is what I could find on our wiki; we also have a travel conduct document):

Code of Conduct:
“Gracious Professionalism” is essential to team participation. Disciplinary action, determined by team mentors and advisors in cooperation with the team captains, may include suspension from team activities, ineligibility to travel with the team, or removal from the team.
  • Student will display “gracious professionalism” – the motto of FIRST – at all times and promote the ideals of FIRST.
  • Students will not violate the racial/religious/harassment/violence/hazing rules of the Minnesota State High School league (MSHL bylaws available upon request).
  • Students will follow the same rules as dictated by Eagan High School, including those in regards to alcohol and chemical substances.
  • Students are expected to behave in a courteous and cooperative manner.
  • Students are expected to be respectful of others and behave in a manner which protects the health and safety of themselves and others.
  • Students shall be respectful of the facilities, tools, equipment, and all things being used by the team.
  • Students shall not use profane, obscene or vulgar language in written, gestured or verbal form.
  • Students at corporate sites are guests of the corporations and must be courteous and respectful. While at a corporate site, students are expected to follow the general rules and safety rules posted at the site.
  • Students are expected to keep current with team activities and requirements by checking the website and their email frequently.

Student Eligibility:
  • Students must be in grades 9 – 12
  • Students must maintain at least a “C” (2.5) grade point average. Student must also have passed all of their classes the trimester prior to the beginning of our season.
  • Students are expected to make a time commitment to the team, actively participate in meetings, workshops, and events, especially during the busy build season in January and February.
  • Students are expected to be reliable (on time, prepared to work, clean up, positive attitude, assist newer members) and assist with team administrative tasks.
  • 9th grade students are encouraged to choose between Lego Robotics and the Eagan Robotics Team* (not both) during the same calendar year.

As it says, violation of code of conduct is grounds for removal from the team depending on severity and team leadership's opinion.

We have very rarely had to exercise our rules-- and we actively help students who want to be on the team meet them if necessary.

*Eagan Robotics Team includes FTC and FRC teams that are members of Eagan FIRST robotics.
