Re: What is Your Team's Application Process?
We have a similar problem to the OP, we are limited to a shop space of only about 35-40 people, and that is including a room with no tools in it at all. As well as only having 3 mentors!
Solving the mentor problem is easier with the senior students, but the space problem has always been a deterrent to quite a few students. What we have found is by some small rotation, we can expand this number, but it does sound counterintuitive. We encourage our members to not only be a part of robotics, but to be involved with other groups in the school. I am involved in band and am the president of our It's Academic club, so I am often not arriving until 3 or 3:30 when we start at 2:15 daily. People involved in sports arrive after their practices, and by then other have left for work, or to go home to complete their homework. This rotation scheme is not formal, but it does allow us to increase our size beyond our shop's limits.
