We've been informally doing this for a couple of years, and to me the data we've recieved out of this can sometimes be innacurate. Some students who write down very little or seem to not have any defined skills end up doing tons of great work. Never understimate the power of getting addicted to FIRST...

In short, i have seen some teams successfully work the 'tryout' process, but our team has always accepted anyone who wants to join, and even though we had 'tryouts' everyone still made it. And the data we recieved from teh tryouts usually didn't reflect the amount or quality of work done during the FIRST season.

Just my thoughts on the issue.
