i don;t personally like the idea of turning away students who want to be involved. i honestly think that most teams get weeded out naturally as the season progresses, ie.. people get involved with other stuff and stop showing up. you can also keep a log of when people work to determine who travels. i also think that if you have hundreds of applicants that maybe you school should start 2 teams, with that much interest the school board and local area should be fine with major support, remember FIRST is for everyone not just the 30 that are most qualified at the beginning of the season. This is true because FIRST is about expanding your horizons and learning, i would hate to think that the next dean Kamen is at your high school and he/she would never realize their potential because someone decided that they wern't the "FIRST material"
