Good question, we have always been curious how other teams/schools decide this. Here is what we do.

If we raise enough money, everyone goes. But if not, the students know in advance what criteria we will use to choose who goes to each competition.

#1 students must have A's or B's in all of their classes for the entire year
#2 their ON TIME attendance in school must be over 90% in EVERY class, including 1st period every month
#3 we chart the hours that each student spends on team functions, events, meetings, etc.



This way the students know what they need to do and what is expected of them if they want to be guaranteed to travel with the team to competitions. I think it works well, especially since for us the main purpose of FIRST is to get the students to value their education and excel in school across the board - not just in the robotics class.
