We let anyone join the team, but if they start getting low grades (no strict definition, but probably around C's) they are temporarily suspended from doing robotics work/traveling to competitions. Not because we think their scholastic ability is a measure of their capability in robotics (our teacher advisor has no qualms about suspending leads and officers if they are doing poorly) but because we don't want to damage their academic performance. It's a good motivation, all the students who are dedicated enough to come work on a bot 12 hours a day during their spring break are also usually motivated enough to maintain their grades so they can go to competition.
