Re: Elite (invite only) FIRST teams

My old FRC team had an application and interview process for all new members. Those interested would submit an application with at least one teacher reference and skillset. A resume was highly recommended. I didn't like this system much because it added qualified people who just went to robotics to put it on their college application. However, I can't really think of a much better system.

In terms of the design process, it was basically whoever had an idea come up in front of the team and present their design. This worked well to some degree.
