We have no phone policy other then if you bring a charger in the room everyone can use it.

When students are at robotics they are there because they want to in their free time. If they want to check instagram while working on something quick it doesn't bother me and general if people are motivated enough to show up they are motivated enough to work. I'm actually appalled that teams have phone policies and think it's quite ridiculous. Many schools have dropped their phone policies all together with quite a few being quite relaxed about them.

A phone policy to me is just a good way to not retain members. I'm not sure I would have stayed in robotics and gotten hooked if when I showed up they made me put my phone away.
