hmm thats a tough one, however as a 4 year member on my team, i know from experience that it is somtimes hard to motivate people, especially the new members who may not be as experienced. To me, when someone says they arn't motivated, it means that they arn't interested. If they are not interested then you could probably think that they dont feel like they are contributing enough to the team. Maybe if they got involved more, however i am not aware of your situation, they could somehow make a part for the robot, make them get involved with the engineers as well as the veteran members. If they feel they are contributing to the team and if they feel that what they are doing is going to help the team, i believe that they will become motivated to be there. However, if they are just sitting there with nothing to do, just watching people make parts and do all the "cool" stuff, then sure, i dont think that i would be very motivated to be their either. Basicly, with my little experience, my opinion would be to get them involved if their not, and if they are involved, then ask them why they dont want to be there and try to accomidate their reasons. Hope this helps. Good luck.
