Re: Student Participation Agreement

Our team has problems in attendance similar to everyone else's here. We have 30-40 people "on" the team, but only 10ish that work. However, our members pay to go to competitions, so if they want to dish out $100+ to cheer, they can. Only the people that were involved in build are allowed to be "involved" in competition, as in driving, working on the robot etc. In extreme circumstances they are not allowed to go; but you may be suprised to see what some of the slackers turn out to be (ours became a welder and main driver after slacking his first year). I would say make no requriments for "being" on the team, or even going to competition (as long as the team isn't paying for it) but make contribution (not neccesarily attendance) the requirement for being involved in the truly fun parts of the season. Regionals!

Just one extra thought:

This year, you can't be on the field unless you can show extensive knowledge of the game rules in the manual (for our team).
