For Team 812 we also have a grading system and also requirements. The requirements are grades, 20 hours of FIRST community service, and to plan one FIRST community service event. As for the grading system, that actually has three components. It is based on a journal (measuring participation), attendance, and the a set of about 5 short answer questions on your contributions to the team. For Nationals, our goal is about 15 students every season with about 6 mentors. For Los Angeles regional, our mentors usually choose anyone that is above a certain point value, maybe 80 percent or so on the grading system.
