Re: Lettering in FIRST
It's a lot easier to get insurance if you register your team as a Learning for Life post through the Boy Scouts. It's what they used to call the Explorers. I couldn't imagine working in a shop without insurance.
As far as lettering goes, shoot for an academic letter. We have an academic lettering system at our school so we arranged to set criteria for lettering in robotics. It can be done no matter what your circumstance, you just have to get a whole lot of people behind your cause. Our criteria require a combination of a number of outreach hours, fund-raising credits, meeting attendance, competition attendance and other factors. About 20% of our club members letter each year.
