[Gary Dillard]

In order to "participate" with the team, our only requirement is that the students and their parents sign a contract that says you understand and agree to the requirements outlined for travelling with the team.

In order to travel to competitions / events with the team, we require:

1) A "C" average, and no grade less than a "C" in any class for the most recent grading period.
2) Participation in at least 50% of all meetings and fund-raisers.
3) Active participation in 1 or more sub-teams
4) Passing three written tests
a) History of SPAM & FIRST, general robotics, and shop safety (given at the end of fall)
b) Rules of the current year's game (given about 4 weeks into build season)
c) Design and Construction of the current year's robot (given the week after we ship)

In the fall we split into Rookie classes and Veteran meetings; anyone who didn't pass the tests from the previous year is considered a Rookie. Also, only veterans can mentor First Lego League teams.
