Re: FRC as a credit bearing course

Getting credits for FRC would be nice but having it as a class would mean that you a) cant quit and b) cant join if you don't get in. FRC is a lot of work and it feels a little wrong to make someone who got into the class but then didn't like it(somehow) stay on their team. Per that same token only a certain amount of students can get into every class so inevitably some amount of students will probably be rejected. I know some teams have a similar idea of how a team should be structured to that provided by a class but I don't suppose every team is structured this way. Our team gets about 200 students who are interested every year and then the ones who wanted to do battle bots or the ones who aren't willing to put in the work slowly quit the team until week 2 of build season where we have 5-10 dedicated newbies.

In other words:
-Getting credit for FRC sounds great
-making it a class... not so much

What do you guys think?
Especially those teams that have done this.

And of course: my personal views and this post do not in any way represent the views of my team.
