Re: Elite (invite only) FIRST teams
Regarding the purpose of the thread and the application/interview process.

There are teams that do this.
There are teams that are open door, everyone is welcome.

Both types of teams have the same goals/mission and that is a successful FIRST team. Hopefully, everyone enjoys the experience.

There is a lot of work involved starting a FIRST team in a new area, as I'm sure you know, Craig. It has been done. Hopefully some of the founders of teams that were started in college will see your thread and add their wisdom gained from their experiences.

It's interesting. I'm not sure I like 'elite' though. When I think of 'elite' teams in FIRST, I think of teams who have worked hard to put it all together into a successful package of achievement gained through the years of trial, error, battle scars, and callouses. To start an 'elite' team would mean a whole 'nother thing.
