Re: Pros/Cons for making our Robotics Team selective?

I considered it a while back. However, there's two issues with it:
1. Our team mission is to get people into STEM, and by excluding some people that are not committed we're really going against that mission. The people who were not committed are the ones we are aiming at; the committed ones were already STEM kids!
2. Given our history of not being super-competitive (we have rarely won events), the culture is not there to attract kids. 254 for example can do it because they have a very competitive/respected team in the school. But if a team like mine were to do it, we would need to first start showing exemplary results before making it exclusive.
