I was just wondering if other FIRST teams, due to the large number of students interested, had to be selective about their team members. What are your methods and how is your selection process?? Our school (rookie year 2004) last year, for example, had hundreds of students wanting to participate. Here's how they chose our current team members:

- curriculum vitae, narrowing it down to....
- 60 students, whose skills were observed during a formal group dynamic, and finally...
- 26 students were selected.

This year's selection process has changed...in september we had to fill out some form/survey. Tomorrow about 100 students will take a written test...and who knows where it goes from there.

I was simply interested in knowing how other teams recruit members, what it takes to join the team, and what mentors look for in students when it comes to having to select...
