Opposite Problem
Team 469, not having taht extreme a porblem, did had the issue of participation not during competition, but during build season. as most teams have, hwe had a core of about 4 kids who worked liked dogs on the robot, me include. those who would pull all nighters and i myself am proud to say that during this build season i was up for 72 hours straight working on the robot. beyond that core there was only moderate and almost no participation from other members. this was a problem but at competitions the enthusiasm of my team exploded beyond what i thoguth coudl happen. there were peopel on the team who worked ont he robot that had rarely laid eyes upon it.
my advice to u is that if the memebrs of your team joined soley for the trip to florida, which was once a problem for my team, keep only those that seems the least bit interested. you may find that memebrs of the team that dont seem to care will find interest and become part of your core build memebrs in the following years. one of our 469's main focus is finding those easily inspired team members and showing them the grandeur of FIRST
