i think matts point was that you shouldnt reject members outright.. our team nas about 50+ members the first meeting and by the time the trips come around, we have 14 at the most. the team kind of builds itself, the people who want to be there and have the dedication remain while the people who just want to go on a cheap trip leave. with an application system you will loose out on alot of good people simply because they dont live up to the standards that the team members reviewing the application have set.
and, if trips do come around and you have more members than you can afford to bring, just pick the ones that are essential to the teams success and tell the rest to try again next year. it sounds mean but now you have a bunch of people who have a good idea what FIRST is about, how to do stuff and will be an asset to your team in the coming years.
