We also have quizzes for anyone interested in being a part of the travel team...
The students must take and pass a rules/strategy test that involves the rules of the game, scoring scenerios, and strategies our robot is designed to do. They must pass this before they are allowed to tryout for a spot on the travel team.
Once we make the first cut for things like driver/op/hp/pit/scouting, etc everyone must take an oral technical test and prove sufficient knowledge of the robot.. this includes basic technical stuff (what is the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker) and being able to point on mechanisms on the robot as well as describe the design and function behind the different mechanisms of our bot. Any college kids looking to travel as well must pass the technical test...
The rules test is online, I don't remember the link off the top of my head.. anyone can email for it and/or i'll post it up here..
