I think the question you should ask yourself is whether a FIRST team can include a person who won't let it be a team.
We have someone on our team who tried almost the same thing--he wouldn't stay for the meetings, he took over projects and never finished them, didn't show up for fundraising events, and he tried out for the operator position this year.
The only way we could end up solving the problem was by choosing another driver who had just as much skill. The slacker wasn't happy about it, but in the end we did well--but that's not thepoint.
The point of the story is it doesn't matter how well you do at the competitions. It doesn't matter who gets to drive, or who gets to throw the balls. It doesn't even matter who hangs out in the pits all day. What matters isn't the desination, it's the trip. FIRST isn't about single people doing things on their own just so they can win. FIRST is about working together to meet at a common goal, and maybe learn something along the way.
Right?
